Description
A refreshing and healthy treat packed with nutrients from chia seeds and bright, zesty flavor from fresh lemons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Fresh berries, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Whisk the mixture together until well combined, ensuring no lumps from the chia seeds.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

- Top with fresh berries or desired toppings before serving.
Notes
Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup or honey. Use fresh lemons for best flavor, but bottled lemon juice can work in a pinch.
