Pour milk and choice of sweetener into a microwavable bowl and heat for about 1 minute. Add vanilla extract, and whisk together so the sweetener and vanilla are dissolved into the milk.
Add the chia seeds and whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to assemble, stir strawberry jam into the chia pudding.
Layer chia pudding, cereal or granola, berries, and almonds into two glass dishes. Enjoy!
