Chia Seed Pudding

I stumbled across this recipe ages ago and took a screenshot of it but I can't really seem to remember where I got it from so credits to the author :3

Chia seeds could be pretty expensive for a student budget but there are places that sells them at a reasonable price if you know where to find it. For instance, if you're in Melbourne, you can try looking at the Sweet & Nut Shop down Russell St (contact details here). I got 250g of Black Chia Seeds for $6.50 (which is pretty decently priced for me)

Anyhoo here's what you need: 

1/3 cup Chia Seeds*
1 1/2 cup milk 
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a container or jar. Stir until all is mixed evenly. 

Leave overnight in the fridge and serve with fruits as desired.

The chia seeds will expand and turn into a pudding-like consistency (hence chia seed pudding)

Variations:

Matcha Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

To the mixture:

Substitute milk with coconut milk 
Add 1 tsp matcha powder

Matcha Coconut Chia Seed Pudding with Strawberries and Toasted Coconut Chips

*It doesn't really matter whether you use black or white chia seeds as there's really no difference between the two except for the colour.

Happy cooking!
