Instructions

  • Add the chia seeds and milk to a small glass jar and stir together.
  • Let the chia seeds sit for 15 minutes (they should start to thicken and gel), then stir again.
  • Add your favorite fruit and toppings, then secure with a lid.
  • Place the chia pudding in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

  • If your chia seeds don't gel and thicken after 15 minutes, it's likely you've got dud chia seeds. Chia seeds can go bad if they've been sitting in your pantry too long or not stored in an air-tight container. Just buy new chia seeds and try again!
