Ingredients

  • 2 cup unsweetened almond milk or another milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
  • Evenly pour the mixture into 4 jars or bowls. I often continue to whisk as I pour to make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed between all containers.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to thicken.
  • When ready to serve, top with fruit, nuts, honey, seeds, or anything else that strikes your fancy.

Notes

*This recipe is not very sweet on its own. Toppings like honey, maple syrup, fruit, or dates will make it sweeter!
**To make this portable, use glass jars with lids. I like to reuse old yogurt and nut butter jars for this.
