Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • ½ Cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen), divided

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1 ½ Cups Milk (milk of choice, such as almond, dairy, oat, etc.)
  • ¼ Cup Chia Seeds
  • 2 teaspoons Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the berries: Add ¼ cup of the mixed berries into a bowl and break them into smaller pieces using a spoon to release their juices and enhance flavor.
  2. Make the chia mixture: To the bowl with the mashed berries, add milk of choice, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped.
  3. Refrigerate: Pour the combined mixture evenly into two glasses or small containers. Place them in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to allow the chia seeds to soak and thicken the mixture into a pudding consistency.
  4. Serve and garnish: Before serving, top the pudding with the remaining ¼ cup of mixed berries for added texture, flavor, and visual appeal. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • If the pudding turns out too thick or not fully combined, add a splash of your preferred milk, stir well, and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to achieve desired consistency.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup for different sweetness preferences.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure your maple syrup is pure and unsweetened.
  • Use fresh berries for immediate freshness or frozen berries for convenience and availability year-round.
