Apricot Balsamic Chia Pudding

Recipe By: Susan V

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
• 2 tablespoons Apricot Balsamic
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh apricot slices for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, Apricot Balsamic, maple syrup or agave syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until well combined.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency. Stir occasionally during the first 15 minutes to prevent clumping.
4. Once the chia pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the refrigerator.
5. Give the pudding a final stir and divide it into serving bowls or glasses.
6. Garnish with fresh apricot slices, if desired.

Notes:

• Serve chilled
