Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Whisk milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl until fully combined.
- Rest the mixture for 5 minutes, then whisk again to remove clumps and encourage an even texture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
- Spoon a layer of chia pudding into each jar. Add yogurt and berries for colorful layers.
- Top with granola just before serving to maintain a pleasant crunch and clean texture contrast.
- Seal jars and store chilled. Grab a jar when you need a quick breakfast or snack.
Notes
For a softer texture, reduce the chia seeds slightly. For a thicker consistency, add an extra tablespoon. Freeze assembled jars without granola and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Handle layered jars gently to keep distinct sections intact. Customize flavors with cinnamon, cocoa powder, fruit puree, or citrus zest. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
