1-2 teaspoons sweetener honey, maple syrup, or stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Method

Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, yogurt, milk, and sweetener. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Flavoring (Optional): Add vanilla extract or spices like cinnamon if desired, and mix again.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and expand, forming a pudding-like consistency.
Stir Again: Before serving, stir the mixture to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
Serve & Top: Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, granola, nuts, or seeds.

Notes

Consistency: Adjust the consistency to your liking. For a thicker pudding, add more chia seeds, and for a thinner consistency, add more milk.
Sweeteners: You can adjust the sweetness based on your preference. Try using natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey for a healthier option.
Storage: Chia pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It's perfect for meal prep, so you can make multiple servings in advance.
Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Fresh fruits, nuts, granola, or a drizzle of nut butter all work well with chia pudding. Feel free to try different combinations to keep the recipe exciting.
