Overnight Chia Pudding

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of your choice (optional)

• Fresh berries or sliced fruit for topping (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices)

• Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions:

1. In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Stir well to combine and ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

2. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4-6 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency. You can also give it a stir after an hour to prevent clumping.

3. In the morning, give the chia pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.

4. Transfer the chia pudding to a serving bowl or glass and top it with fresh berries or sliced fruit of your choice.

5. Sprinkle optional toppings like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

6. Enjoy your creamy and nutritious plant-based overnight chia pudding!
