Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
A handful of shredded coconut
Directions
1. Combine Ingredients:
In a small bowl or jar, mix together 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1/2 cup of milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy), 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir the mixture well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together. This step is crucial to achieving a smooth texture.
3. Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.

Once the pudding is ready, give it a good stir and then top it with 1/4 cup of sliced almonds, 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, and a handful of shredded coconut. These toppings add crunch, freshness, and a touch of sweetness to your chia pudding.
