Ingredients

• Ingredients Scale 1x2x3x 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (use your favorite) 1/2 cup chia seeds 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or seeds of 1 vanilla bean 1 – 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or coconut, turbinado or organic pure cane sugar, optional

Preparation

• Instructions Combine: Place ingredients in container or bowl and mix well. Mix twice: Mix the chia mixture after 5 minutes, then again after 5 minutes, mixing well each time. Mixing the chia seeds is important so they don’t fall to the bottom of the container. If not shaken or stirred every now and then, the pudding will not set properly and the seeds will sink to the bottom. Chill: Keep covered in the refrigerator until set. Will be ready in 3 – 4 hours. Makes about 2 1/4 cups Serve: Spoon into individual bowls or containers, and serve with fresh fruit, granola or whatever your heart desires that sounds good! Store: Keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 – 6 days. For longer storage, keep in the freezer for up to 2 – 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator. Serves 4
