Ingredients

For the Pudding

1/2 cup Chia Seeds Ensure they're fresh for the best results.
2 cups Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Oat, or Coconut) Choose almond for a lighter taste or coconut for an ultra-creamy experience.
1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice Always opt for fresh juice to keep flavors bright.
1 tbsp Lemon Zest Use a microplane for zesting to avoid bitterness.
2 tbsp Maple Syrup (or Honey) For a lower calorie alternative, consider stevia or monk fruit.
1 pinch Sea Salt A pinch elevates flavors and prevents dullness.

For Serving

1 cup Fresh Berries Adds vibrant color and natural sweetness.
1/4 cup Toasted Coconut Adds a crunchy texture and subtle sweetness.
2 tbsp Nut Butters Provides added creaminess and healthy fats.

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, whisk the chia seeds, plant-based milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes, then stir it again to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight if you can wait!
Once set, scoop the pudding into jars or parfait glasses and top with fresh berries or toasted coconut.
