Classic Chia Pudding Recipe - Tasting Table

For this recipe, you will need milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla. You can buy chia seeds online or at most stores; look for them in the supplement area or in the baking aisle. "If you are worried about smiling with a black chia seed stuck in your front tooth," Hahn shares, "white chia seeds are available online and they offer the same nutritional value so, smile freely." You also can use any type of milk, and plant-based milk options available these days are practically endless. As far as maple syrup goes, to get the most bang for your buck health-wise, Hahn says to use organic pure maple syrup over the more processed types of syrup, and honey or molasses can also be substituted.

You can also jazz up your chia pudding will all sorts of toppings. Hahn usually opts for fresh fruit, unsweetened shredded coconut, and chopped nuts. Feel free to get creative!
