Ingredients

  • ½ cup frozen mixed berries (optional) *see notes

You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan.
    ½ cup frozen mixed berries (optional), 1 cup milk of choice, 4 tablespoon chia seeds, 2 tablespoon yogurt of choice, 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir constantly.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  • Let sit for 2-3 more minutes. This will allow the chia seeds to thicken even more.
  • Add toppings of choice & enjoy!

Notes

  • Frozen berries: add some additional taste and flavor but are optional and can be omitted.
  • Sweeter: For a sweeter chia pudding, gradually add more maple syrup or sweetener of choice.
  • Milk: My favorite plant milk to use in this recipe is unsweetened oat milk but it will work with any type of milk. Instead, you could use ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of water but the pudding will be a bit less creamy.
  • Topping Suggestions: fresh berries (or other fruits), homemade granola, (homemade) almond butter (or any other nut butter), nuts & seeds, chocolate chips, coconut flakes
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. You might need to add 2-3 tablespoon of milk or water as the chia seeds thicken even more the longer they soak.
