Method

Measure Ingredients.
Start by accurately measuring 40 grams of chia seeds, 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk, 100 grams of mixed berries, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Using a kitchen scale will ensure precision.
Tip: Use a small bowl or cup for measuring the maple syrup to avoid sticky spills. -
Mix Chia Seeds and Almond Milk.
In a medium-sized bowl or jar, pour the almond milk and add the chia seeds. Stir well to combine so that the seeds are evenly distributed and do not clump together.
Tip: Use a whisk or fork to break up any clumps of chia seeds for a smoother pudding texture. -
Add Maple Syrup.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup into the chia and almond milk mixture. Stir again to incorporate the sweetness evenly throughout the pudding base.
Tip: Adjust sweetness later if desired, but start with 1 tablespoon for balanced flavor. -
Refrigerate to Thicken.
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding consistency.
Tip: For best results, stir the pudding once after 30 minutes to prevent seeds from settling at the bottom. -
Prepare Mixed Berries.
While the pudding is setting, rinse fresh mixed berries under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels. If using frozen berries, thaw them in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
Tip: Use fresh berries for the best texture and flavor. -
Serve the Chia Pudding.
Once the pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. Spoon the pudding into a serving bowl or glass. Top with the prepared mixed berries evenly over the pudding. Your delicious and nutritious chia pudding is now ready to enjoy!
Tip: Add a few extra berries on top for a colorful presentation.
Pro tips
- Stir the pudding 30 minutes after mixing to avoid clumps forming at the bottom.
- Use a glass jar with a lid for easy storage and on-the-go breakfasts.
