Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, nuts, granola, seeds
Instructions
- In a mason jar or bowl, add 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Whisk thoroughly or seal the jar and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until no clumps remain.
- Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. You will see it start to thicken. Whisk or shake again to break up any new clumps.
