Add the yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) to a medium bowl.
Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the chia seeds and mix well.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
Stir before serving and adjust the texture with a splash of milk if needed.
Divide into bowls and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds. Serve cold.
