Instructions

  2. Stir well
    Whisk or stir thoroughly for 1–2 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.

  5. Serve
    Once thick and creamy, give it a final stir and add your favorite toppings before serving.

After soaking, the chia seeds absorb liquid and create a soft, pudding-like consistency. The flavor is mildly sweet, creamy, and refreshing—perfectly customizable with fruits or natural flavorings.

Variations

  • Coconut Chia Pudding: Use coconut milk and add shredded coconut
  • Citrus Twist: Add orange or lemon zest (as shown in the image)
  • Chocolate Version: Mix in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • Protein Boost: Stir in Greek yogurt before chilling
