Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of one lemon
- Juice of one lemon

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Set the bowl aside for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and expand. You should see the mixture starting to thicken.
- After 10 minutes, stir again to create a smooth consistency.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats with an additional cup of almond milk. Stir to fully incorporate the oats into the milk.
- Layer the chia pudding and oat mixture in a glass or bowl, starting with the chia pudding as the first layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes, or overnight.
- Just before serving, top with fresh fruits like berries or banana slices.
Notes
Ensure chia seeds expand properly for the best texture. This pudding is best enjoyed chilled.
