Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Pour 1/4 cup chia seeds and 1 pinch fine sea salt into your jar. Note: Adding salt to the dry seeds ensures even distribution.
  2. Pour in 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  3. Stir vigorously for 60 seconds until no seed clusters remain visible.
  4. Let the jar sit on the counter for 10 minutes. Note: This is when the initial gel begins to form.
  5. Whisk again for another 30 seconds until the mixture looks slightly thickened and uniform.
  6. Secure the lid and place the jar in the refrigerator.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the pudding is firm and holds its shape on a spoon.
  8. Give it one last stir before serving to redistribute any settled liquid.
  9. Add your favorite toppings just before eating to maintain their texture.
