Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Toppings: yogurt, granola, nut butter, fresh berries, coconut flakes
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla.
- Stir well and let sit for 10–15 minutes. Stir again to prevent clumping.
- Fold in berries or layer them if using as a topping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Stir before serving. Add toppings just before eating.
- Store in fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
• For blended variation: Blend berries, milk, sweetener, and vanilla first, then stir in chia seeds.
• To make it protein-packed, add Greek yogurt or protein powder.
• For vegan and allergy-friendly versions, choose non-dairy milk and avoid nuts.
• Use frozen berries to infuse flavor as they thaw.
• Great for layering in jars with granola and yogurt.
