Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

- Fresh fruits for topping optional
Instructions
Add Chia Seeds to Bowl
- Take a clean mixing bowl and add chia seeds. Make sure they are dry and fresh for best results.
Pour in Milk

Add Lemon Flavor
- Add lemon juice and lemon zest. This gives a fresh and tangy taste to the pudding.
Add Vanilla Extract
- Pour in vanilla extract for extra flavor. Mix everything together until smooth.
Stir Thoroughly

Let It Rest

Chill the Pudding
- Cover the bowl or transfer to a jar. Place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Check Texture
- After chilling, check the pudding. It should be thick and creamy. Stir gently before serving.
Add Toppings and Serve
- Top with fresh fruits or nuts if you like. Serve cold for best taste.
Notes
