Calories: 159kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain soymilk or milk of choice
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine the soymilk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large bowl or container. Whisk until fully combined.
- Add the chia seeds and whisk until evenly distributed.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and whisk again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, stir and add a splash of milk if the pudding is too thick. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Any milk works in this recipe: soy, oat, almond, or regular dairy. Coconut milk will give a thicker, richer result.
- Honey can be substituted for maple syrup. For a less sweet pudding, skip the sweetener in the mix and drizzle honey directly over your bowl when serving.
- The pudding thickens over time, especially after a couple of days in the fridge. Stir in extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Use a good pure vanilla extract for best results. Nielsen-Massey is a great choice.
