Equipment

  • jar or bowl
  • spoon
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cup

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to a jar or bowl. Pour in 1 cup of milk.
  • Stir thoroughly for 30–60 seconds to prevent clumping.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours or overnight until thickened.
  • Stir once more before serving and add toppings like fruit, nuts, or yogurt if desired.

Notes

Stir the mixture twice to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture. Let it set for at least 2–4 hours, but overnight gives the best results. Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed. Customize with vanilla, cocoa powder, fruit, or sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
