Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

This simple pudding is a nutritional powerhouse. Chia seeds are famous for their ability to absorb liquid and expand, creating a gel-like texture that is incredibly satisfying. They are a fantastic source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿซ€

Instructions

Combine Ingredients : In a glass jar or a small bowl, add the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener. ๐Ÿฅฃ

Stir Thoroughly : Mix everything together with a spoon or whisk. Make sure there are no clumps of seeds sticking to the bottom or sides of the container. ๐Ÿฅ„

The First Rest : Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes. โณ

Stir Again : Give it one more good stir to break up any remaining clumps. This step is the secret to a perfectly smooth pudding! โœจ

Refrigerate : Cover the jar and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. The seeds will soak up the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency. โ„๏ธ

Serve ย Give it a final stir before eating. Top with your favorite fruits or nuts and enjoy!๐Ÿ“
