Instructions

CONVENTIONAL METHOD

Combine the chia seeds, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix until combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture. Adjust the sweetness to your taste if necessary.
Serve in a bowl or glass, and if desired, add your choice of keto-friendly toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream.

THERMOMIX METHOD

Add the chia seeds, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt to the mixer; mix 10 sec/speed 3.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to ensure all the chia seeds are fully incorporated into the mixture. Transfer the chia pudding mixture to a container or glass jar. Follow from step 2 above.
