Chia Seed Pudding - Healthy Diet Recipes World

Chia Seed Pudding,

Chia Seeds: 1/4 cup (provides the thickening power).
Milk of Choice: 1 cup (almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk all work well).
Sweetener: 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup, honey, or agave (optional).
Flavoring: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional).
Toppings: Fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi, as seen in the image.

Combine: In a glass jar or bowl, add the chia seeds, your chosen milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Whisk: Stir the mixture thoroughly with a whisk or fork. It is crucial to ensure all the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped at the bottom.
Wait and Stir: Let the mixture sit for about 5–10 minutes, then give it one final, vigorous stir to break up any lingering clumps.
Chill: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. For the best consistency, leave it for at least 2 hours, though overnight is ideal. The seeds will absorb the liquid and transform into a thick, pudding-like texture.
Serve: Once set, stir the pudding once more. Top with fresh, vibrant fruits like sliced kiwi, strawberries, and blueberries before serving.

Consistency: If you prefer a thinner pudding, add a splash more milk before serving. If you prefer it thicker, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
Storage: This recipe keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it excellent for meal prepping.
Flavor Variations: Try adding a spoonful of cocoa powder for a chocolate version or stirring in a spoonful of nut butter for added richness.
