This simple and delicious chia seed pudding is a creamy, naturally sweet treat made with just a few wholesome ingredients—chia seeds, milk of your choice, and a touch of natural sweetener. After soaking for a few hours, the chia seeds expand to create a thick, pudding-like texture that's perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a healthy dessert. Top it with fresh fruits like berries and bananas for extra flavor and a beautiful presentation. No vanilla extract needed—just pure, simple goodness!
