Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 cup chia seeds, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Step 2: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumps and ensure thickening.
Step 3: When ready to serve, stir the pudding thoroughly to achieve a creamy texture. Divide into 4 serving glasses or bowls.
