Ingredients for Vegan Chia Seed Pudding
- Chia seeds – Chia seeds are such a unique food. They start out dry, but will absorb any liquid they’re in and just about double in size. They’re super filling and full of fiber, too!
- Coconut milk – Any plant milk is fine.
- Maple syrup – Just a touch for some added sweetness. Feel free to omit if you prefer.
- Raspberries – Raspberries are my favorite fruit, but you can really do this with any crushed fruit. Feel free to increase the amount of fruit you use, too.
How to Make Vegan Chia Seed Pudding
You’ll want to start with a large container with an air-tight lid like a mason jar. I used a 32oz mason jar and had room to spare.
Add the chia seeds, plant milk, and crushed berries into the mason jar. Stir or shake until all of the liquid is evenly distributed and no dry clumps of seeds remain.
Place the air-tight cap on the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Keep refrigerated up to 12 hours. You may need to stir or shake occasionally to ensure no clumps of seeds were missed.
That’s it! Serve and enjoy!
How to Store Vegan Chia Seed Pudding
- Fridge: This pudding will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days in an air-tight container.
