Ingredients

Scale

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy or low-fat milk)
6 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–2 tablespoons erythritol or stevia (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
Optional: A sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut or sliced almonds for topping

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and your sweetener of choice. Ensure there are no lumps.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken.
Once the pudding is set, give it a quick stir. Divide it into serving bowls or jars.
Top with fresh or thawed berries and any optional toppings like coconut or almonds.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

You can prepare this pudding up to 3 days in advance. Keep it stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For a smoother texture, blend the almond milk, chia seeds, and sweetener before refrigerating.
Feel free to substitute with other fruits like kiwi or mango in moderation, based on personal preferences and dietary needs.
