Chia Pudding is a nutritious, creamy pudding made from chia seeds soaked in liquid (like milk or plant-based milk) until they form a gel-like consistency. It’s popular as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert because it’s easy to make and packed with nutrients.
🌱 Key Ingredients
- Chia seeds – absorb liquid and swell to create a pudding texture
- Liquid – milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or any preferred milk substitute
- Sweetener – honey, maple syrup, or agave (optional)
- Flavorings – vanilla extract, cocoa powder, cinnamon, or fruit puree
- Toppings – fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, granola
🥄 How to Make Chia Pudding
- Mix chia seeds and liquid (usually 3 tablespoons of chia seeds per 1 cup of liquid).
- Add sweeteners and flavorings if desired.
- Stir well to prevent clumps.
- Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight) until the mixture thickens.
- Serve with toppings like berries, banana slices, or a drizzle of nut butter.
