Ingredients
Chia Pudding Ingredients
- ¾ cups chia seeds
- 2½ tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups kefir
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add the chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and kefir. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Initial Setting: Let the mixture set in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes, then give it a good stir to prevent clumping.
- Final Setting: Allow the chia pudding to set in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours or preferably overnight for best texture.
- Serve: Stir the pudding well before serving. Top with your favorite additions such as yogurt, fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds by ¼ cup.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar for different sweetness options.
- Use full-fat kefir for a creamier texture or low-fat kefir for a lighter version.
- Prepare the pudding the night before for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
- Mixing the pudding twice during setting helps prevent clumps and ensures even texture.
