A creamy, make-ahead breakfast that transforms overnight. This simple pudding is a healthy, satisfying start to any day, topped with fresh berries for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups milk of choice (e.g., coconut, almond, oat)
  • 3-4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • For serving: fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Optional toppings: extra maple syrup, yogurt, granola, nuts, coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or large jar, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
  2. Sprinkle in the chia seeds and whisk vigorously for 30-45 seconds to prevent clumping.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly.
  4. Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Before serving, stir the pudding well. Spoon into bowls and top generously with fresh berries and any desired toppings.

Notes

Whisking well initially and again after 5 minutes is key to a smooth, clump-free pudding. Store plain pudding in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a keto version, use a keto-friendly sweetener and unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
