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.
