1. *Mix* the chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla in a bowl.
2. *Stir* well so the seeds are evenly distributed (as shown in the top image).
3. *Rest* the mixture for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
4. *Refrigerate* the bowl for at least 4 hours or overnight, letting the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding.
5. *Serve* the pudding in jars (like the bottom image) and top with fresh fruit or a drizzle of syrup.
Tips
– You can swap milk with coconut milk or almond milk for a different flavor.
– Adjust sweetness to taste before chilling.
– For texture, stir the pudding halfway through soaking to break any lumps.
