    •  Chia Seeds
    • Milk
    • Sugar (optional)
    • garnish (feel free to use seasonal fruits and nuts of your choice) Apple Slices, Banana slices, Blueberries, Peach Slices, Sliced Almonds, Raisins, Mint leaves, etc.

    This is a wonderful recipe to have in the recipe book, when you want a super simple, no-cook recipe. It is filling, healthy and tasty too.

    customize the recipe

    • To make it vegan, use dairy-free, plant-based milk.
    • Top with seasonal fruits and berries
    • Toast the almonds for an added nutty flavor.
    • Use your favorite seeds for crunch if you are allergic to nuts.
    • Top with some additional granola for an added crunch.
    • Skip the sugar if you are following a sugar-free diet.

    In a hurry? Don't worry.

    You can even pack this in a mason jar or similar container and you have a healthy, nutritious "to-go" breakfast. If eating from a jar is inconvenient for you to have as a to-go breakfast, blitz everything in a blender and you have a chia seeds fruit smoothie.

    EDIT(04/18/2017): One size does not fit all. Similarly, one recipe does not fit all. I have gotten positive feedback for this recipe from everyone who have tried the recipe except for one person. But we take every feedback seriously. The feedback was that this was a little runny for them. There are various ways to thicken this delicious breakfast. One would be to reduce the quantity of milk you use to mix the Chia seeds. The other idea would be delicious too if you like bananas. Mash the banana (instead of adding as slices) to your preference and mix it with the soaked Chia seeds.

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 tablespoon Chia Seeds
    • 1.25 cups Milk plus more to taste. Also see recipe notes.
    • Sugar optional

    Garnish (feel free to use seasonal fruits and nuts of your choice)

    • Apple Slices
    • Banana slices
    • Blueberries
    • Peach Slices
    • Sliced Almonds
    • Raisins
    • Mint leaves

    Instructions
     

    • In a small bowl, add the chia seeds and pour the milk.
    • Mix well with a fork. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes. I mix the chia seeds with milk at night and use the soaked seeds in the morning.
    • Once the chia seeds are soaked, add sugar and extra milk according to your taste.
    • Transfer the contents to two serving bowls, top with sliced (seasonal) fruits and nuts.
    • Enjoy.

    Notes

    It is super easy to make this vegan: substitute the milk with almond milk or soy milk.[br] You can also Vanilla essence, rose essence or cardamom to flavor the chia pudding.

      Chia Seeds are so healthful. I add them to my grains and oatmeal every day. This is such a delish way to enjoy them. On my "to do" list. Love the toppings you've chosen as well.
