How to Make Almond Milk Chia Pudding

In a medium mixing bowl or a large glass mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Whisk the ingredients together vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until no clumps of chia seeds remain.

Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature, then give it another thorough stir to break up any seeds that have settled at the bottom.

Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set completely.

Before serving, stir the pudding one last time. If it is too thick, add a splash more almond milk. Top with fresh berries and serve chilled.

·
The Double Stir: Stir once, wait 5 minutes, then stir again. This is the secret to preventing large clumps of chia seeds.
·
Smoothie Style: If you dislike the 'tapioca' texture of chia seeds, blend the entire mixture in a high-speed blender before chilling for a smooth, mousse-like consistency.
·
Meal Prep: Portion the pudding into small individual jars so you can grab-and-go for a busy weekday morning.
·
Sweetener Swap: Honey or agave nectar can be used in place of maple syrup, or use a few drops of liquid stevia for a lower-calorie option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does chia pudding stay fresh?

When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, almond milk chia pudding will stay fresh for up to 5 days.

Why is my chia pudding still runny?

This usually happens if the ratio of liquid to seeds is too high or if it hasn't chilled long enough. Add another tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit for another hour.

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes! You can stir in frozen berries before refrigerating. They will thaw overnight and release delicious juices into the pudding.

Is this recipe keto-friendly?

To make it keto, simply replace the maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit.
