A refreshing and creamy lemon chia pudding made with almond milk, fresh lemon juice, and a touch of maple syrup. This easy no-cook recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or light dessert, offering a zesty citrus flavor with added creaminess from Greek yogurt or coconut cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Creaminess

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or coconut cream (optional for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are evenly dispersed throughout the liquid mixture.
  3. Thicken: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and transform the mixture into a thick, pudding-like consistency.
  4. Stir Again: After refrigeration, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps and achieve a smooth texture.
  5. Add Creaminess: If desired, incorporate Greek yogurt or coconut cream into the pudding for a richer and creamier texture, mixing well.
  6. Serve: Spoon the pudding into individual serving dishes and garnish with extra lemon zest or fresh berries for a touch of color and added flavor.

Notes

  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and can be vegan if using coconut cream and maple syrup.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to your preference.
  • For extra texture, add fresh berries or a sprinkle of nuts as a topping.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best bright flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
