Can I use flavored kefir instead of plain?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different flavors of kefir to add a delicious twist to your chia pudding. Just keep in mind that flavored kefir may already have added sweetness, so adjust the amount of additional sweetener accordingly.

Are there any vegan alternatives for kefir?

Yes, there are different plant-based alternatives to kefir available. In fact, coconut milk kefir is my preferred choice, as it offers a similar tangy and probiotic-rich experience without the use of dairy.

Instructions

In a medium container, add the chia seeds, milk kefir of your choice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps of chia seeds stuck together.
Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken and develop a pudding-like texture.
Once the pudding has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the fridge. Before serving, give it a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Enjoy your kefir chia pudding with your favorite toppings.

Notes

You can store this kefir chia seed pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, I don’t recommend freezing the pudding as it can alter its texture.

This recipe yields approximately 2 to 4 servings of chia pudding, depending on your preferences and serving size. If you wish to make a larger portion, you can simply increase the recipe while maintaining the 1:4 ratio of chia seeds to kefir mentioned in this recipe.

Please note that the total time mentioned in the recipe does not include the soaking time. It is important to allow the pudding to chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
