  • Author: Ethan
  • Total Time: 5 minutes (plus chilling)
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

Creamy, easy vanilla chia pudding made overnight with just 5 ingredients. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup milk or milk alternative (we like 2%)

¼ cup chia seeds measured level

2 tbsp maple syrup or preferred sweetener

½ tsp vanilla extract

Dash of sea salt 1/8 tsp or less – optional


Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a jar that has a well-fitted lid (16-ounce volume or greater).

2. Seal the jar and vigorously shake for about 1 minute.

3. Place the sealed jar into the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight.

4. Shake every 20 minutes in the first hour to prevent clumping.

5. Serve with desired toppings like fruit, granola, or chocolate.

Notes

Use any milk you like: almond, oat, or dairy.

Add toppings before serving, not during storage.

Adjust sweetness to your taste.

For thicker pudding, use a bit less milk or add more chia.
