For the Pudding

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend the ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Continue whisking vigorously for about 1 minute until the mixture starts to thicken slightly. Ensure there are no dry clumps of chia seeds remaining.
  3. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  4. After chilling, stir the pudding to break up any clumps that may have formed. Aim for a smooth and creamy texture.
  5. Spoon the chilled chia pudding into serving dishes. Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or coconut flakes before serving.
