Vanilla Chia Pudding
Chia pudding is one of my absolute favorite easy snacks to prep for the week. One of the best things about chia pudding is that you can completely change up its flavor with a few simple swaps. From adding different fruit to a bit of cacao powder, the possibilities really are endless. In today’s recipe, I’m sharing my vanilla chia pudding. This snack is gluten, grain, dairy, and refined-sugar free, so it is a great healthy dessert for those who avoid those things, and those who don’t.
My vanilla chia pudding recipe is only 4 ingredients, and pairs well topped with your favorite fruit and granola. Check out the ingredients below.
Ingredients:
Chia Seeds: I usually use Mamma Chia or Thrive Market brand.
Almond or Coconut Milk: I used Elmhurst almond milk this time around.
Maple Syrup: I prefer to use maple syrup in chia pudding as a natural sweetener, but honey can work as well.
Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla will go a long way to enhance the flavor of chia pudding.

Instructions
- For this single serve chia pudding, get out a meal prep jar and your ingredients.

- Stir well to combine, and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
- Take out and stir again, this will help to prevent chia clumps.
