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
  • 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 to form a flavorful base.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid to ensure uniform thickening.
  3. Thicken: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
  4. Stir Again: After refrigeration, stir the pudding thoroughly to break up any clumps that may have formed for a smooth consistency.
  5. Add Creaminess: Mix in Greek yogurt or coconut cream if you want a richer, creamier pudding.
  6. Serve: Spoon the pudding into serving dishes and optionally garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh berries for an added burst of freshness and color.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut cream instead of Greek yogurt.
  • Chia pudding thickens as it chills, so if it becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk before serving.
  • Allows for easy meal prep; pudding can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Garnish ideas include fresh berries, toasted nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
