In a bowl or mason jar, add the almond milk, yogurt, salt, vanilla, and maple syrup. Stir or whisk well. Add the chia seeds and stir again.

Wait 15 minutes for the mixture to thicken and stir again (this will help break up any seed clumps). Optionally, add your favorite protein powder and whisk again.

Cover and refrigerate until the pudding thickens; anywhere from 4 to 8 hours or until the dish reaches your desired texture.

For a creamy, pudding-like texture, once the mixture is thick, add it to a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy with any toppings, such as fresh fruits or granola. This pudding will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
