Notes
- As written, this recipe makes one serving. It can be scaled up to make more servings. If you're making a bigger batch, I recommend mixing everything together in a large bowl. Then you can portion the chia seed pudding out into individual serving containers, if desired.
- Topping Ideas: Serve chia pudding with fresh fruit, jam, nuts, nut butter, granola, coconut flakes, etc. To make chocolate chia pudding, stir in 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder per serving when you combine the other ingredients.
- Storage: Chia pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
