Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or any berries you prefer)

1 tablespoon almond butter (optional, for creaminess)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Whisk well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and won't clump together.

Add the maple syrup (if using) and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until everything is well mixed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, give the mixture another good stir to break up any clumps.

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the chia seeds expand and the mixture turns into a thick pudding-like consistency.

Once the chia pudding has reached your desired thickness, give it a stir and taste. Adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if needed.

To serve, layer the chia pudding in a glass or bowl with mixed berries. If you'd like, drizzle some almond butter on top for added creaminess.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days!
