Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds Look for organic chia seeds for the best quality.
  • 1 cup almond milk Unsweetened almond milk works best. Substitute with coconut milk if desired.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon Use fresh cinnamon for a warm flavor.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for a rich flavor.
  • 1 g stevia Adjust sweetness to taste; honey or agave syrup can also be used.
  • 1 pinch salt Brings all the flavors together.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, stevia, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Make sure to break up any clumps of stevia.
  2. Pour the mixture into a container or individual serving bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. For the first 30-45 minutes of chilling, stir the pudding a few times to prevent the chia seeds from settling to the bottom.
  4. The pudding will thicken as it sits, reaching a creamy, custard-like texture.

Notes

Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 4-5 days. For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds or let it sit longer. Don't skip the whisking step to ensure even distribution of chia seeds.
