- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Instructions
- Pour 3 tablespoons of chia seeds into a mixing bowl or jar.
- Add 1 cup (240 ml) of your preferred milk.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Whisk or stir vigorously for about 1 minute to prevent clumping.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then stir again.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- After chilling, stir the pudding; if too thick, add a splash of milk and mix well.
- Rinse and pat dry 1/2 cup of fresh berries; lightly mash some if desired.

Notes
Stir the mixture right after combining and again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping. Chill overnight for best texture. If pudding thickens too much after storage, stir in a splash of milk before serving. Avoid freezing as it changes texture.
