Ingredients

▢ 85 g chia seeds
▢ 350 ml unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
▢ 2 tablespoons honey plus more for serving if desired
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ Fresh berries optional, for serving

Instructions

Add 85 g chia seeds, 350 ml unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to a bowl or jar. Stir thoroughly until the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. Stir again, scraping the bottom and sides to break up any clumps.
Cover and refrigerate the overnight chia pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thick and fully set.
Stir before serving, divide among four containers, and top with fresh berries and additional honey if desired.

Notes

Second stir: Stir thoroughly after the five-minute rest because the chia seeds hydrate quickly and can settle into clumps.

Milk choice: Unsweetened almond milk creates the tested base. Dairy milk was also tested and gives a richer finish.

Texture adjustment: If the chilled pudding is too thick, stir in a small splash of the same milk before serving.

Sweetness control: The base was tested with honey. Add extra honey after chilling to adjust the final sweetness with the toppings.
