# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
02 - 1/2 cup chia seeds
03 - 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
04 - 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, poppy seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
02 - Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping and ensure even seed distribution.
03 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency.
04 - Stir the pudding before serving. Spoon into bowls or jars and top with fresh berries, toasted almonds, and shredded coconut as desired.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • It practically makes itself while you sleep, no morning panic required.
  • The poppy seeds give you tiny bursts of texture that keep your spoon coming back.
  • You can sweeten it exactly how you like and change up the toppings every single day.
  • It stays fresh in the fridge for days, so meal prep becomes effortless.
02 -
  • If you skip the second whisk after 5 minutes, you'll end up with clumps of chia seeds in some spots and watery pudding in others.
  • The pudding thickens as it sits, so if it feels too thick in the morning, just stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up.
  • Taste it before you chill it because once it's set, adjusting the sweetness becomes tricky.
03 -
  • Toast your almonds in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding them, it makes a huge difference in flavor.
  • If you want a smoother pudding, blend the mixture in a blender for 10 seconds before chilling.
  • Use a clear jar to see the layers and make it feel more special, even if it's just for you.
