WHAT IS CHIA PUDDING

Chia pudding is made with chia seeds mixed with milk of choice (and sweetener of choice) and let set for an hour or so until a tapioca or gel-like texture. It should be nice and thick and not runny.

Chia pudding is a good meal-prep option as it can keeps for about 4 days in the fridge,

TIPS TO MAKING A GOOD CHIA PUDDING

• The texture should be nice and thick and not liquidy. If the texture is too soft or runny, add more chia seeds and let it sit for another 20 - 30 min.

• Using plant-based milks such as almond, cashew or coconut milk will give the pudding a creamy consistency.
