Ingredients

1/2 cup chia seeds (8–10 tablespoons)
2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
Fresh strawberries or blueberries for garnish

Instructions
1. In a bowl or jar, mix chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla. Whisk or stir thoroughly to break up clumps.
2. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes at room temperature, then stir again to ensure even coating of the seeds (this prevents sinking and clumping).
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight (8–12 hours) to achieve a smooth, pudding-like consistency.
4. Before serving, stir the pudding once more. Layer into glasses: first the pudding, then a layer of fresh fruit, or simply top with fruit. For a parfait style, use crushed fruit at the base.
5. Add fruit just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
