In a small bowl, stir together almond milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Sprinkle chia seeds on top, and use a fork to stir everything well together.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the pudding is thick and the seeds have absorbed the liquid.
Check the pudding often during the first 20 minutes. If you see many seeds at the bottom of the bowl, stir again to distribute evenly. As they absorb the milk, they tend to sink down to the bottom during the first 20 minutes. This will prevent chai seed lumps in your pudding.
The next day, stir again for a minute to combine the spices from the top to the rest of the pudding.
Serve with fresh banana slices, drizzle of peanut butter, coconut yogurt, and a pinch of cinnamon.
