Chia Pudding is a simple and nutritious dessert or breakfast option made with chia seeds and your choice of liquid, such as milk or plant-based alternatives. Here’s a brief overview of the recipe, including cooking time, preparation time, ready time, and the list of ingredients:
Cooking time: No cooking required
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Ready time: 4-6 hours (to allow for chia seeds to absorb the liquid)
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Sweetener of your choice (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup)
- Optional toppings: Fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or granola
Instructions:
- In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds and milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Add sweetener to taste and mix thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- After the resting time, give the chia pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Serve the chia pudding in individual bowls or glasses.
- Add your desired toppings, such as fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or granola, to enhance the flavor and texture of the pudding.
- Enjoy the chia pudding immediately or refrigerate for up to 2-3 days.
Note: You can customize the recipe by adding flavors like cocoa powder, vanilla extract, or cinnamon to the chia pudding mixture before refrigerating. Adjust the sweetness and consistency by adding more or less sweetener and liquid according to your preference.
