Tips and Tricks

Chia seed pudding can be a great option if you know the right tricks. So don’t be intimidated by the thought of making your own. 

• Make sure to soak the chia seeds overnight. Letting the chia seeds set overnight gives it the right amount of time to develop flavor and pudding texture.
• Use your add-in to create different flavors.  Milk or yogurt  with a splash of vanilla before adding in your favorite fruits and spices such as cinnamon and/ nutmeg help to create a flavorful combination. This step is vital because without the additional flavorings the chia pudding will be bland.  
• Sweeten the pudding with honey or sweeteners of your choice. 
• We like to combine both coconut and almond milks to get a thick and creamy texture. Using just one or the other can create a more runny pudding. 
• Store your chia seed pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. We recommend using mason jars. They are perfect for keeping the pudding fresh and tasty.
