Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds (80g)
- 2 cup plant milk of choice
- 1 – 2 tbsp maple syrup
For individual 4 oz servings:
- 4 tbsp chia pudding
- 3 tbsp watermelon rind strawberry fruit sauce (or some jam of choice)
- 1 fresh strawberry, sliced
- 1 tsp toasted coconut flakes
*All the ingredients for the base chia pudding recipe are from our pantry and freezer tips!
Instructions
- Add the chia seeds to a medium sized bowl and pour in the plant milk. Quickly use a whisk or fork to disperse the seeds right away. The seeds will want to clump immediately so make sure to not let them sit in the milk. *Alternatively, you can do this in a jar with a lid and shake it well!
- Stir in the maple syrup. Use more if desired or keep the pudding unsweetened (if your plant milk is sweetened you may find you don’t need extra sweetness). I tend to keep mine mildly sweetened since I will add jam or fresh fruit when I go to enjoy it.
- Allow it to sit and thicken in the fridge for 15 minutes. Give it another stir and enjoy right away or store in the fridge until you are ready to scoop some out for a snack!
- Feel free to add in any other flavourings. Try dissolving 2 – 2 1/2 tsp of cocoa or matcha powder in a couple tablespoons of warm water or milk before you add in the chia seeds (adding the powder directly to cold milk will often make it clump and not dissolve properly). Once your chia seeds are mixed in, feel free to add dried fruit, nuts, other seeds, nut butter, jam, chocolate chips… go wild and customize it to your liking!

Notes
