- 1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (28g) or stevia drops to taste
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the chia seeds, coconut milk (or almond milk), sugar-free sweetener, and the optional salt and vanilla extract.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until it becomes thick and smooth, ensuring there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- Optional Blending: If you prefer a smoother texture, use a blender or immersion blender to process the pudding until it reaches your desired consistency.

Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with other unsweetened plant-based milks like almond or cashew milk.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sweetener or using stevia drops according to taste.
- For a creamier texture, blend the pudding after soaking or omit blending for a more textured chia gel.
- Add toppings like nuts, berries, or shredded coconut just before serving for added flavor and texture.
- This pudding can be made ahead and stored, making it great for meal prep.
