Chia seeds swell into a creamy, tapioca-like pudding here, sweetened with just a touch of maple syrup and rounded out with vanilla and a pinch of salt. The whole thing comes together in a bowl with a whisk — no stovetop, no fuss — then sets up in the fridge until it's thick enough to hold a spoon standing upright. Portion it into jars for an easy make-ahead breakfast or snack you can grab all week long. Top with fresh berries if you want a little brightness and color against the pudding's deep vanilla base. It's a simple, gentle dish that fits neatly into a low FODMAP routine, especially when you keep portions and toppings sensible. Minimal ingredients, minimal effort, maximum payoff once it's had its time to chill.
