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.
