Overnight Berry Chia Pudding

Overnight Berry Chia Pudding ingredients

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• optional nuts or granola for topping

How to make Overnight Berry Chia Pudding

1. In a medium jar or bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 1 cup of plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
2. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring all the chia seeds are fully incorporated and no clumps remain at the bottom of the container. This initial whisking helps prevent the seeds from settling and clumping.
3. Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
4. Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir with a spoon to ensure an even consistency throughout. If it's too thick, you can add a splash more plant-based milk.
5. Divide half of the thickened chia pudding mixture evenly into two serving glasses or bowls.
6. Layer each serving with half of the 1 cup of mixed berries, spreading them gently over the pudding layer.
7. Top with the remaining chia pudding mixture, dividing it equally between the two servings.
8. Garnish each serving with the rest of the mixed berries. If desired, add a sprinkle of optional nuts or granola for extra crunch.
9. Serve the overnight berry chia pudding immediately, or keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
