This Chai Chia Pudding recipe is flavorful, sugar-free, and makes an easy plant-based breakfast, snack, or dessert that's healthy and yummy!
Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons Chai Spice (easy homemade recipe)
- 2 cups plant-based milk or the milk of choice.
- 1 teaspoon sweetener I use liquid stevia. Then add more to taste.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or Maple Extract (You can also add ½ teaspoon of each, which is what I do.)
Instructions
- Add the chia seeds and chai spice to a lidded container or mixing bowl, then add the milk, extract, and sweetener. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir again, then recover and refrigerate for at least an additional 3 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer it sits, the thicker it becomes.
- Once the chia pudding has thickened, stir well, then do a taste test and add additional spice and sweetener if desired.
- Transfer to a serving dish or keep stored in the fridge until ready to eat. (See below) Add the toppings of your choice and an extra dash of chai if desired, then enjoy!
Notes
How to Store Chia Pudding
Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat. I like to divide my chia pudding amongst 4 lidded jars for easy meal prep. It stores well for up to 5 days. Store any toppings, like fruit, nuts, or granola, in a separate container, then add them when you are ready to eat.
