Ingredients
- 3 cups soymilk, vanilla-flavored, unsweetened (or may use almond, soy, or oat milk)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark
Instructions
- Place soymilk in a medium glass bowl. Thoroughly mix in maple syrup, chia seeds and cardamom with a whisk.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 8 hours, or until achieves desired thickness. (Try chilling overnight). For best results, remove from refrigerator and vigorously stir pudding with a whisk a couple of times during this period. The chia gels will swell and make a thick mixture; stirring occasionally will help make a smooth consistency and avoid settling of the seeds. When pudding is thickened, divide into 6 serving dishes, and top each with ½ cup berries. Alternatively, you can immediately pour the chia seed pudding into into individual serving bowls or glasses to thicken, such as covered mason jars, so that they are easy to grab and go. Then top with berries.
Notes
Use frozen berries when fresh are not available.
