What Are Chia Seeds?
Chia seeds are tiny black seeds that absorb liquid and expand significantly when soaked. Even a small amount turns into a thick, pudding-like consistency. They're a staple in healthy eating because they're incredibly nutritious and versatile.
Hint: They look tiny before soaking, but remember they expand considerably once liquid is added

Ingredients
- Chia seeds
- Milk: I like oat milk, but any milk works.
- Maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- Vanilla extract: Optional - you can also use vanilla-flavored milk instead.
- Toppings of choice (e.g., fresh fruit, berries, nuts, chocolate flakes, sugar-free granola)
See recipe card for quantities.
How To Make
- Put all ingredients into a jar or bowl and mix well - or shake in a mason jar with a tight lid.
- For best results, stir again after about 10 minutes so the seeds don't clump.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Serve chilled with your favorite toppings!
Tips
- Meal prep: Make multiple portions at once and store in small jars or containers so you'll have quick breakfasts or healthy snacks ready for the week.
- Refrigerate: Always let the chia seeds soak in the fridge - not at room temperature.
- Even texture: Stir twice - once at the beginning and once about 10 minutes later - to keep the pudding smooth and avoid lumps.
- Make it creamy: Stir in a little yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Storage: It keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days. I personally enjoy it freshest within the first couple of days.
