Let's cook

  1. Get the ratio right

    Roughly one part chia to four parts liquid by volume. More chia sets it stiff; less leaves it runny.

  2. Whisk once

    Whisk the chia, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt together thoroughly.

  3. Whisk again after 10 minutes

    Wait 10 minutes, then whisk hard a second time. Chia clumps immediately on contact with liquid and this second whisk is what gives an even set.

    💡

    The second whisk is the whole recipe. Skip it and you get a lumpy layer with liquid on top.

  4. Chill at least 4 hours

    Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until thick enough to hold a spoon.

  5. Top and serve

    Loosen with a splash of milk if too thick, then add fruit, nuts, and nut butter.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

Keeps 5 days refrigerated and the texture improves on day two. If it sets stiffer than you like, stir in milk rather than starting over.

  • Chocolate: Two tablespoons of cocoa powder whisked in at the start.
  • Vegan: Any plant milk; coconut milk gives the richest result.
  • Meal prep: Make four jars at once for the week.
