Pour milk in a Mason jar.
Add sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
Add the Chia seeds.
Mix them very well until there is no clumps. Wait for 2-3 minutes then stir again before refrigerating.

You can use any non-dairy milk of choice, here I've used almond milk.
You can use heavy cream (this is for non vegan) for a more creamy texture.
You can also use any low carb sweetener you like, Keto maple syrup is one of the greatest choices too.
Do not use ground chia seeds for this recipe.
Cinnamon and vanilla are used for flavoring, you can skip one or both and use your favorite flavoring, more on that in the variation section.
I cannot stress enough on the importance of good stirring, this makes a huge difference. Stir chia seeds vigorously into the milk for about 10-15 times until there are no clumps. After that wait for a few minutes and stir again.
Check your pudding after an hour or two in the fridge, if it separates take them out and stir again cover and continue to refrigerate.
After 4 hours your pudding will still be a bit liquid, the more it stays in the fridge the more pudding like it will get.
If after 6 hours your pudding still did not get to where you want it, stir another half tablespoons of chia seeds this will thicken it in a matter of 30 minutes more.
Storage: Store in your fridge for up to a week.
Variations: There are endless way to flavor and serve your chia pudding. Garnishing it with fresh fruits. nuts, Keto cereal, almond butter, peanut butter ...etc. Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder instead of vanilla and cinnamon for chocolate pudding. Mix in matcha powder, protein powder, pumpkin spice, sugar free jams work well too.
