TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this creamy chia seed pudding.

  • Stir Twice: Stir once when mixing and again after 10-15 minutes to prevent clumping.
  • Use Fresh Milk: The pudding will absorb the flavour of the milk, so choose a high-quality plant-based or dairy milk.
  • Customise The Sweetness: Adjust honey, maple syrup or other sweeteners to taste.
  • Make It Thicker: If the pudding is too runny, add an extra teaspoon of chia seeds and let it sit for another hour.
  • Meal Prep-Friendly: Store in single-serve containers for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.

VARIATIONS

  • Chocolate Chia Pudding: Add 1 tsp cocoa powder for a rich, chocolaty twist.
  • Berry Delight: Top with fresh berries like blueberries, raspberries or strawberries.
  • Nut Butter Boost: Swirl in a teaspoon of almond or peanut butter for extra creaminess.
  • Coconut Chia Pudding: Use coconut milk and top with shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
  • Protein-Packed Pudding: Mix in a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout snack.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Short-Term Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare multiple servings in jars for quick breakfasts or snacks throughout the week.
  • Freezing Option: Freeze in small portions and thaw in the fridge overnight for later use.
