Make this simple, low calorie chia pudding snack using unsweetened almond milk and natural sweeteners for a guilt free sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (best low calorie milk for pudding)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional, for flavor)
  • 1–2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener or stevia (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or small container, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, and sweetener.
  2. Stir the mixture well for about one minute to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly. This step is key for smooth pudding.
  4. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for overnight pudding preparation.
  5. When ready to eat your portion controlled snack, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
  6. Top with 1/2 cup of mixed fresh berries before serving.
