- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container.
- Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2-3 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a thick, creamy pudding consistency.

Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: When combining chia seeds and almond milk, whisk vigorously to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture.
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter and high-quality chia seeds for the best flavor and nutrition.
- Patience is Key: Allow the pudding to set for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
- Customize Your Pudding: Experiment with different sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol to suit your taste preferences.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This pudding can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, making it perfect for busy lifestyles.
- Texture Tip: If the pudding seems too thick, simply add a little more almond milk and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish Creatively: Top with sugar-free chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
