Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds These are your magical agents that create the pudding texture.
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice) Provides creaminess without overpowering the lemon flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) Adds sweetness. Use maple syrup for a vegan option!
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice For that refreshing citrus kick.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 zest lemon A burst of lemon flavor to make it even more delectable.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, add the chia seeds and set them aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  3. Pour the wet mixture over the chia seeds. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you’re planning ahead.
  5. Once set, give the pudding a good stir, serve into bowls or cups, and add your favorite toppings!

Notes

Feel free to swap almond milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It is best made ahead of time to develop the creamy texture.
