Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk
  • 0.5 cup chia seeds
  • 0.25 cup pure maple syrup reduce to taste
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 cup mixed fresh berries sliced if large
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt optional, for extra creaminess
  • 0.25 cup toasted sliced almonds optional topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until combined.
  • Whisk in chia seeds for 0.5 minute to evenly distribute. Let stand 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up clumps.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
  • Before serving, fold in lemon zest and 1.0 cup of the berries.
  • Spoon into bowls or jars. Top with remaining berries and almonds, plus a dollop of yogurt if using.
  • For thinner pudding, whisk in 0.25 cup milk just before serving; for thicker pudding, add 1.0 tbsp chia and rest 10 minutes.

Notes

Make ahead up to 4 days; store covered and stir before serving. Swap maple syrup with honey or use a zero-calorie sweetener to taste. Dairy-free: skip yogurt or use coconut yogurt.
