Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • granola (optional topping)
  • coconut flakes (optional topping)
  • fresh mint leaves (optional topping)
  • extra berries (optional topping)
  • sliced almonds (optional topping)

Equipment

  • medium mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • mason jars or serving bowls
  • refrigerator

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Add chia seeds and whisk thoroughly until evenly combined.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover the bowl or divide into jars and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  5. Before serving, stir the pudding until creamy.
  6. Layer the pudding with mixed berries in jars or bowls.
  7. Add optional toppings like granola or coconut flakes for extra texture.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Whisk the chia mixture twice to prevent clumps. Use full-fat coconut milk for an even creamier texture. Sweeten to taste depending on the sweetness of your berries. Store in individual jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts. Add toppings just before serving to keep them crunchy.
