Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (white or black)
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh berries or tart cherries
  • Granola or chopped nuts

How to Make Chia Seed Pudding

  1. Combine – In a lidded jar or airtight container, mix almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
  2. Shake – Secure the lid and shake well until combined.
  3. Chill – Refrigerate for a few hours.
  4. Stir – After 1–2 hours, stir to break up any clumps so the chia seeds absorb the liquid evenly.
  5. Set – Return to the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
  6. Serve – Top with fruit, nuts, coconut flakes, or syrup just before eating.

Tips for Perfect Chia Pudding

  • Ratio matters: The best texture comes from 2 tbsp chia seeds to ½ cup liquid.
  • Don’t skip the stir: Stirring after a few hours prevents clumps and ensures creaminess.
  • Too thin? Add a spoonful of chia seeds, stir, and chill again.
  • Too thick? Loosen with a splash of milk before serving.

Storage

Store chia pudding in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Perfect for prepping ahead!


Serving Suggestions

Chia pudding is delicious on its own, but toppings make it extra special:

  • Fresh fruit for brightness
  • Granola or nuts for crunch
  • Coconut flakes for tropical flavor
  • Chocolate chips or an extra drizzle of syrup for dessert vibes

Recommended Jars

For meal prep, small clear jars like Le Parfait or Weck Mini Tulip Jars work perfectly. They’re airtight, cute, and leave room for toppings.
