Chia seed pudding is one of my favorites. It is super easy to make and it's a healthier option than many other snacks. There are so many combinations that you can put with the pudding including bananas, blueberries, strawberries, cardamom and cinnamon. Chia seeds are rich in fiber and a pretty good source of protein which makes this an excellent choice for breakfast or an after school snack. I usually use almond milk for my chia seed pudding but in this recipe I am using 2% milk. This recipe is also not exact. I don't use measuring cups I just guess what it needs next which makes it more fun!
All of the ingredients that are needed for this recipe are in the picture above. Only four ingredients! That's another reason I love this recipe. All you need is your milk of choice, chia seeds, vanilla, and honey.
There should be about twice as much milk as there are seeds. You can drizzle honey on top along with the vanilla and stir it all up. I like to experiment with how much milk, honey, and vanilla I put in so it always turns out different, but always yummy. More honey will obviously make the pudding sweeter and less milk will make it thicker. It takes a while for the seeds to absorb the other ingredients so I suggest stirring and putting the pudding in the fridge until it becomes thick enough to eat. Another idea is to leave the mixture in the fridge overnight so in the morning it will be set up and ready to serve! Since it takes a while to set up, I suggest making enough for more than one serving so you can put back what you don't eat and save it for the next day or week. These pictures are before and after stirring for the first time. At first this will not look very appetizing but once it sets up you'll be wanting to make more!
