Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of your preferred plant-based milk with ½ cup of chia seeds until they're evenly mixed.
- Stir in ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice, a tablespoon of lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup to infuse the pudding with bright, zesty flavors.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. This resting period helps prevent clumping; after 5 minutes, give it another gentle stir.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results. The pudding should have a soft, jelly-like consistency upon setting.
- Once set, scoop out the pudding into bowls and top with your choice of fresh berries or coconut flakes for added flavor and texture.
