Expert Tips for the Best Chia Seed Pudding

  • No chia seed texture? Blend everything! If you prefer a smooth pudding, blend all ingredients, including chia seeds, for a creamy consistency.
  • Chia seeds absorb 6x of their size in liquid—so be patient and let them fully hydrate.
  • Meal prep-friendly. Store a big batch in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Customize it! Add a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or a tablespoon of protein powder for extra nutrition.
