Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (about 40 grams)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240 ml) – almond, coconut, oat, or dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (120 grams), plain and unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (30 ml), adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 1 cup fresh berries (150 grams) – mix of blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries
  • Optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240 ml) of your favorite milk, 1/2 cup (120 grams) of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of maple syrup or honey, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy with no lumps (about 2 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup (about 40 grams) of chia seeds evenly, breaking up any clumps.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes at room temperature to allow chia seeds to start absorbing liquid.
  4. Stir the pudding again to avoid clumps, then divide into serving jars or bowls.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to thicken.
  6. Before serving, rinse and pat dry 1 cup (150 grams) of fresh berries and slice strawberries if using.
  7. Spoon fresh berries over the pudding and add optional toppings like toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts. Serve chilled.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before chilling. Use room temperature milk and yogurt to help chia seeds absorb better. Chilling overnight is best for thick pudding, but a minimum of 2 hours is acceptable with a softer texture. Stir in a splash of milk if pudding is too thick after chilling. Use trusted chia seed brands for freshness. Frozen berries can be used but thaw before serving.
