Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (2% recommended)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds, leveled
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Dash of sea salt (up to ⅛ teaspoon, optional)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. A jar that holds at least 16 ounces works best.
  2. Close the lid securely and shake hard for about 1 minute, making sure the chia seeds are evenly mixed into the liquid.
  3. Refrigerate the sealed jar for a minimum of 1 hour, or leave it overnight.
    Tip: For the best texture, shake the jar every 20 minutes during the first hour. This helps prevent the chia seeds from floating and clumping.
  4. Once set, serve as-is or top with extra sweetener, fresh fruit, shaved chocolate, coconut, or any toppings you enjoy.
