Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh banana slices and toppings of choice (like nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or berries)

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, start by mashing the ripe banana until smooth. Then, add the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

    Mix Well: Whisk everything together until the chia seeds are evenly distributed and there are no clumps of banana.

      Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the almond milk and expand, creating a thick pudding.

        Stir and Serve: Once ready, give the pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

          Garnish: Serve the pudding in bowls or jars, topped with fresh banana slices and your choice of toppings such as chopped nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or berries for added flavor and crunch.

            Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy this nutritious, delightful treat for breakfast or as a satisfying snack!
