Ingredients

Chia pudding base (1 serving)

• 1/2 cup soy milk, or any plant-based milk of choice
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (such as sugar, coconut sugar, agave nectar, or maple syrup)

Vanilla version

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate version

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon additional sweetener (to balance the bitterness of the cocoa)

Fruit or berry version

• 3 tablespoons berries or fruit of choice, fresh or frozen

Peanut butter version

• 1–2 tablespoons peanut butter

Chocolate peanut butter version

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon additional sweetener

Instructions

To prepare a single serving

1. Place the milk, chia seeds, sweetener, and your chosen flavor ingredients into a blender. Blend for about 20 seconds.
2. Allow the mixture to rest for 3–5 minutes, then blend again for another 20 seconds to fully thicken and smooth the pudding.
3. Transfer the pudding to a small glass jar, seal with a lid, and refrigerate until ready to eat. It will keep for up to 5 days.

To prepare multiple servings

• Multiply the base recipe by three or four for a single flavor. Blend following the same steps as above, then divide evenly into 3–4 small containers and store in the refrigerator.
• Wash the blender between flavors and repeat the process until you have up to 12 individual chia puddings ready for the week.

• Sweetener amounts can vary depending on personal preference and how sweet your plant-based milk already is.
• Consider starting without sweetener, tasting after blending, and adjusting if needed.
• For pudding with whole chia seeds instead of a blended texture, blend all ingredients except the chia seeds. Stir the chia seeds in by hand, then stir again after 5 minutes and again after 15 minutes. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours before eating.
