Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups non-dairy milk (almond or coconut recommended)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 23 tbsp pure maple syrup, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or mason jar, thoroughly mix together the non-dairy milk, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
  2. Mash Blueberries if Fresh: If you are using fresh blueberries, lightly mash them before mixing to enhance their flavor. This step is not necessary for frozen blueberries.
  3. Refrigerate to Soak: Transfer the mixture to a sealed container or keep it in the mason jar and store it in the refrigerator. Let it soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and develop a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve: After soaking, stir the pudding if needed and serve cold directly from the refrigerator. Enjoy as a nutritious breakfast or a healthy dessert.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired sweetness.
  • Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for a creamier texture.
  • You can substitute the berries with other fruits like mango or banana for variety.
  • The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Chia seeds expand significantly, so avoid adding too much extra liquid after soaking.
