Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or coconut cream (optional for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined, creating a flavorful citrus base.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid mixture to ensure even thickening.
  3. Thicken: Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and develop a thick, pudding-like consistency.
  4. Stir Again: After refrigeration, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps and achieve a smooth texture.
  5. Add Creaminess: Mix in Greek yogurt or coconut cream if you desire a richer and creamier pudding.
  6. Serve: Spoon the pudding into serving dishes and garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh berries for a fresh and appealing presentation.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use coconut cream and maple syrup instead of Greek yogurt and honey.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to taste.
  • Chia pudding thickens more as it sits; if it becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For extra texture, add fresh berries or nuts as toppings before serving.
