1/4 c. chia seeds
1 c. almond milk (or milk of your choice)
2 tsp. maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch kosher salt
Sliced fruit, granola, jam, or nuts for serving

Step 1In a medium bowl, whisk to combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener of your choice, vanilla if using, and salt.Step 2Cover and refrigerate until thick, 2 hours up to overnight. Step 3Serve with mix-ins and toppings of your choice.
We like ours topped with fresh fruit—juicy berries, sweet bananas, or fragrant pears work great—and crunchy granola, but feel free to go crazy with your favorite toppings! Dried fruit, yogurt, nut butters, and jams are all equally delicious mix-ins. If you’re looking to keep your chia pudding completely vegan, stick with oat, coconut, soy, or any variety of nut milk. Instead of honey, stick with maple syrup or agave as your sweetener. The vanilla is totally optional, but if you want to make this pudding taste like it walked out of a shop with a $12 price tag, this is the secret ingredient—just a dash will do! Made it?
