Equipment

  • 1 wide mouth mason jar quart size

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chia seeds any color
  • 2 cups plant-based milk of choice unsweetened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • In a tupperware container with a lid or a wide-mouth mason jar (quart sized), add the chia seeds, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix well until no chia clumps remain, close the lid, and set in the fridge. 
  • After around 15-30 minutes, shake vigorously or mix with a spoon to make sure chia seeds don't clump at the bottom. Place back in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours before enjoying. 
  • To serve for dessert: divide into serving ramekins and decorate with toppings like fresh berries, sliced fruit, granola, homemade strawberry chia jam, or a vegan chocolate mousse. To meal prep as snacks: divide into single-serving ramekins like these mini tulip Weck jars and store in the fridge until ready to enjoy. 

Notes

Chia pudding will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge.
