Ingredients for Chia Seed Pudding 

CHIA SEEDS: Chia seeds are worth their weight in culinary gold! Add them to oatmeal, baked goods, or smoothies. Black or white chia seeds will work for this recipe.

MILK: Any type of milk will work, however, creamier blends like whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk will make the pudding rich and creamy.

YOGURT: Greek yogurt will make the pudding thicker than regular yogurt. Plain yogurt my go-to, but you can try different flavors like vanilla, berry, or banana.

SWEETENER: To sweeten your pudding, honey, agave, and maple syrup are great choices.

TOPPINGS: Choose fresh fruit or frozen fruit (if you’re meal prepping), a scoop of mixed fruit salad, or a crunchy spoonful of homemade granola, sliced almonds, coconut, nuts, or dried fruit.
