Ingredients

• Chia seeds - 1/4 cup
• Almond milk - 1 cup
• Honey or maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ripe peaches - 2 medium, diced
• Cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
2. Whisk the mixture well to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure even distribution of chia seeds.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a thicker pudding.
5. Before serving, stir the pudding and divide it into two bowls or jars.
6. Top each serving with diced peaches and an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
