Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt (about 1/8 tsp)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh berries
  • Granola
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids and sweeteners: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt vigorously until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add chia seeds: Whisk the chia seeds into the liquid mixture thoroughly to ensure they are evenly dispersed and won’t clump together.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving jars, then refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve: The next morning, give the pudding a good whisk to break up any settled chia seeds and to achieve an even texture. Serve chilled topped with your choice of fresh berries, granola, toasted coconut flakes, or sliced almonds.

Notes

  • You can use any milk of your choice, including plant-based, but whole milk gives the creamiest texture.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt and use a vegan sweetener.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
  • Chia pudding thickens as it rests, so if it becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for meal prep convenience.
