Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (black or white)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain; 2% or whole milk for best creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of salt (to round out the flavors)
  • Toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, seeds, nut butter, coconut flakes, cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey

Method
 

  1. Stir the base: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add the chia seeds and stir well so no clumps form.
  2. Add the yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt until fully combined and creamy. Scrape the sides and bottom so everything mixes evenly.
  3. Rest and re-stir: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then give it another strong stir. This step helps prevent chia clumps and creates an even texture.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for best thickness. The chia seeds will swell and set the pudding.
  5. Taste and adjust: Once set, taste and add a touch more sweetener or a splash of milk if it’s thicker than you like.
  6. Top and serve: Add berries, banana, nuts, or a spoon of nut butter. Enjoy cold.
