Ingredients:

• Chia Seeds (6 Tbsp)

• Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (8oz)

• Organic Maple Syrup (1 Tbsp)

• Sweetener of choice (stevia, splenda, brown sugar, etc)

Instructions:

1. In a tall mug or glass, add the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup.

2. Stir until the chia seeds begin to expand (about 1 minute).

3. Add sweetener, to taste. This step is optional and only affects the sweetness of the pudding. For zero-calorie sweeteners, the calorie count remains the same as listed above. For non zero-calorie sweeteners, you will need to add the extra calories to the listed calorie count for this recipe.

4. Leaving the mug or glass at room temperature, stir every 5 minutes for 20 minutes.

5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help create the jello-like texture of the pudding.

6. Serve plain or with your choice of fruit on top!
