Chia pudding is a super easy, healthy, no-cook dish made by soaking chia seeds in liquid until they turn thick and creamy—almost like a natural pudding.
🥣 Chia Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut)
- 1–2 tsp honey or sugar (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Add chia seeds to a bowl or jar.
- Pour in the milk and mix well (important to avoid clumps).
- Add sweetener and vanilla if using.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight).
👉 It thickens into a pudding-like texture as the seeds absorb liquid.
