Add chia seeds to a bowl.

Whisk in 1 cup of almond milk.

Whisk in another cup of almond milk, stirring well to prevent clumping.

Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; whisk to combine.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for several hours until thickened.

Check the pudding to ensure it has thickened and the seeds have absorbed the liquid.

For serving, prepare toppings: for the first serving, add pudding to a cup and top with bananas, raisins, chopped pecans, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

For the second serving, top pudding with fresh raspberries, mini chocolate chips, walnuts, and shredded coconut.

For the third serving, add dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and fresh mint from the garden on top of the pudding.

For the fourth serving, blend 1 cup of frozen blueberries with about 1/2 cup of water until smooth, then top the pudding with this blueberry puree, shredded coconut, and fresh mint.
