Ingredients

For the pudding

1/4 cup chia seeds Key ingredient for the pudding texture
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice) Use any preferred milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey Choose sweetener based on preference
1 unit zest of 1 lemon Provides fresh lemon flavor
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Enhances the lemon flavor
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds depth to the flavor
1 pinch salt Balances the flavors

Method

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
Once combined, add the chia seeds and stir well to avoid clumping.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Before serving, give it a good stir. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach desired consistency.
Serve chilled, garnished with fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of extra lemon zest.

Notes

Store leftover chia seed pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Whisk thoroughly to avoid clumping. You can make it vegan using maple syrup.
