  • Stir to thoroughly combine ingredients, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer the pudding sits, the thicker it will get! Letting it sit for at least 12 hours will yield best results.
    stirring chia seeds with milk
  • Once the chia pudding is nice and thick, remove it from the fridge and give it a good stir. You can add a bit more milk, depending on the consistency you like. Taste and add more sweetener or any other ingredient that you want.

Notes

Storage: This chia seed pudding recipe will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. For best results, store chia pudding in a sealed airtight container. I like to portion the pudding into individual servings for a quick breakfast or snack option on the go.
