Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Blend Dates and Milk: Place the pitted dates and milk in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the dates are fully incorporated.
  2. Mix in Chia Seeds: Pour the blended date and milk mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to distribute evenly.
  3. Chill Until Thickened: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for natural sweetness and soft texture.
  • Any milk type works—dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or fewer dates based on preference.
  • For extra flavor, top with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit before serving.
  • Stir once or twice during chilling to prevent clumping.
