Ingredients

1 ripe banana (mashed)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh banana slices and nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for topping

Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving jars or bowls.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding-like texture.

Once set, stir the pudding again to ensure an even consistency.

Serve chilled, topped with fresh banana slices, a handful of your favorite nuts, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired.
