Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice) Use any milk you like: almond, oat, soy, or dairy.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
  2. Stir or whisk well to ensure there are no clumps and the seeds are dispersed throughout the liquid.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the mixture thickens and reaches a pudding-like consistency.
Serving
  1. Before serving, stir the pudding again to smooth out any settled seeds and taste; adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more maple syrup or honey.
  2. Serve chilled, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or toasted nuts if desired.
