  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk kefir
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Optional Toppings

  • Granola
  • Fresh fruit
  • Nuts
  • Peanut butter
  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Make chia seed pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole milk kefir, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, and 1/4 cup of chia seeds until fully combined.
  2. Let it chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture overnight, approximately 8 hours, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture. For best consistency, stir the mixture once after about 30 minutes to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
  3. Enjoy! Once set, serve the pudding as is or add your choice of toppings such as granola, fresh fruit, nuts, peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Stirring the mixture after 30 minutes helps prevent clumping and ensures an even pudding texture.
  • Whole milk kefir adds creaminess and probiotics; you can substitute with low-fat kefir if preferred.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup or substituting with honey or agave nectar.
  • Keep the pudding refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Chia seeds expand significantly when soaked, so the pudding will thicken considerably.
