Serving serving

Ingredients

¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup milk of choice, I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk or oat milk
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 - 2 tsp honey or maple syrup, (optional since the banana is sweet)
½ large spotty brown banana, mashed
Topping Options: banana slices, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, granola, honey, flax seeds, maple syrup, and/or nut butter

Instructions

In a sealable mason jar or small container, mix all the ingredients together, except the mashed banana and toppings. Let it sit for 3 minutes, then mix again until there is no clumping. Then whisk in the mashed banana.
Place the lid on the jar or container to seal. Set in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 2 hours and up to 5 days.
Enjoy cold and top with banana slices, granola, and extra fruit your choosing.

Notes

Meal Prep: Make as many jars as you want of this recipe for meal prep.

My chia pudding is runny: If your chia pudding is runny, it means you added too much milk or didn’t let it soak long enough in the fridge. Measure everything and let the chia pudding soak for at least 2 hours.

Freezing: First, soak your chia pudding in the fridge for 2 hours. Then, add it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. Don’t defrost chia pudding in the microwave!

Storing: Chia pudding is fantastic for meal prep and is easily stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Simply store it in individual containers in your fridge.
