- 1 ½ cups Almond or cashew milk Almond or Cashew is the right consistency for us. Full fat coconut milk makes a creamier and thicker pudding,
- ½ cup Chia seeds
- 1-2 Tbsp Maple syrup more or less to taste or omit
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Cinnamon more to taste...I'm a big cinnamon fan (optional)
- Fresh berries optional
- Bananas optional
To a mixing bowl, add dairy free milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (to taste), and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). The chia pudding should be thick and creamy. If not, add more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate for another hour or so.
Enjoy as is, or layer with banana or fresh berries! Will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
