How to Make Easy Vanilla Chia Power Pudding

Making this Easy Vanilla Chia Power Pudding is straightforward and quick. You just need a few ingredients and a little bit of time for the chia seeds to soak and thicken. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients :

• 1/4 cup chia seeds (soak to unlock their gel-like texture)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (for a creamy, dairy-free base)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for warmth and aroma)
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural sweetener)
• Fresh berries (for color and antioxidants)
• Crushed nuts (for healthy fats)
• Cinnamon (for warmth)
• Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)

Directions :

1. In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
2. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
4. Once thickened, give it a good stir and taste. Add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
5. Serve the pudding in bowls or jars and top with fresh berries, crushed nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
