Chia Pudding with Yogurt Recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup plain yogurt (I enjoy coconut yogurt, Cocojune brand)
-
1 cup almond milk, or any non-dairy milk
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup, optional or a few drops liquid stevia
-
¼ cup chia seeds
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
-
Whisk together yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl.
-
Add chia seeds to yogurt mixture, wait for 5 minutes and give it another mix. We do this because chia seeds tend to stick together when mixed with liquid. Doing so helps break up any lingering clumps of chia seeds.
-
Cover with stretch film, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and top each bowl with fresh berries and nuts. Serve while still cold. Add your favorite toppings like chopped nuts and fruits.
This recipe makes approximately 3 cups of chia seed yogurt pudding that is ideal for 2 generous servings.
