In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.

Pour the mixture into jars or containers and seal with a lid.

Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the pudding has thickened.

Before serving, stir the pudding and add your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, and nuts or seeds.
