Ingredients
  

Banana Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds fresh
  • 2 medium Ripe Bananas mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 1 small Banana sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Walnuts optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Fork
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Meal Prep Containers
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, mashed bananas, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds evenly. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and create a creamy texture.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into meal prep containers, leaving room for toppings.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and spoonable.
  5. Top with banana slices and walnuts before serving. Add a splash of milk for a softer consistency if preferred.

Notes

For a softer texture, stir in extra milk before serving. Chill longer for a thicker consistency. Freeze individual portions without toppings for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for the best assembly and crunch. Customize with cinnamon, cocoa powder, peanut butter, or berries. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
