Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a bowl.
  2. Wait 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps — this step is what keeps it smooth.
  3. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
  4. To serve, spoon into glasses and layer with berries and sliced almonds.

Tips

  • The two-stage whisk is the secret to lump-free chia pudding.
  • The plain pudding base keeps 5 days — layer with fresh fruit each morning.
