Ingredients

1½ cups milk
½ cup chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 tsp sweetener to taste
pinch salt

Instructions

Stir together the chia seeds, milk, vanilla, sweetener and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes for the chia seeds to gel then whisk again, breaking up any clumps.
Cover then place in the fridge and allow to set overnight until the chia pudding is thick and creamy.

Notes

This ratio of liquid to chia seeds delivers a thicker chia pudding which is what I prefer. If you want a looser texture, add another 1/2 cup of milk.
For an extra boost of protein, substitute half cup of milk with half a cup of Greek yogurt.
Sweetener options include: maple syrup, honey, date syrup, brown sugar, xylitol, coconut sugar, etc.
