2 cups liquid: your unsweetened milk of choice, either dairy, coconut, almond, or soy
½ cup chia seeds
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
¼ cup (or less) of maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup
Instructions:
In a blender, process all ingredients on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Pour blended mixture into a glass jar, seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
