Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp (45g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp (30g) greek yogurt
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh berries
  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds

Instructions:

  1. Pour the 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tsp maple syrup into your jar. Note: Mixing the flavors into the liquid first ensures even distribution.
  2. Spoon in the 2 tbsp Greek yogurt and the pinch of sea salt. Whisk vigorously until the yogurt is mostly incorporated.
  3. Pour in the 3 tbsp chia seeds. Whisk for 60 seconds until you see the seeds suspended in the liquid rather than floating on top.
  4. Let the jar sit on the counter for 2 minutes. This allows the seeds to begin their first stage of hydration.
  5. Stir the mixture again for another 30 seconds. Look for a slightly thickened, slurry consistency. This prevents the seed brick at the bottom of the jar.
  6. Put the lid on and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes (for a quick set) or up to 8 hours for the best texture.
  7. Take the jar out and give it one last stir. It should hold its shape on a spoon.
  8. Add the 1/4 cup fresh berries and 1 tbsp sliced almonds right before eating. Listen for the crunch of the almonds against the soft pudding.
