The power-packed chia seeds form the heart of this recipe. When mixed with a creamy almond milk, they absorb the liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like texture. Add in a touch of maple syrup to sweeten and a hint of vanilla extract for rich depth. Top with a vibrant mix of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries to elevate this dish with fresh, natural flavors.
To make this pudding, first, mix together your chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a mason jar or bowl. Stir well to combine and ensure the chia seeds aren't clumped together. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once ready, stir again, and layer with a colorful selection of fresh berries. For an optional twist, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm aroma.
This pudding is wonderfully flexible. If almond milk isn’t your favorite, swap it for coconut or oat milk. For additional texture, sprinkle with nuts or seeds, or add a dollop of your favorite vegan yogurt. It's the perfect dish to serve with granola or alongside your morning cup of coffee or tea.
