In a mixing bowl or jar, combine almond milk, chia seeds, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until no clumps remain.

If desired, mix in Greek yogurt or coconut cream for creaminess. Stir until blended.

Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid.

Check the pudding's consistency, stirring to break any clumps. It should be thick and creamy.

Scoop into bowls or glasses and top with fresh fruits and nuts. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
