Storage Tips
Store the pudding in an airtight container or sealed mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Prepare several jars at once for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
If the pudding thickens too much during storage, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
Freezing is not recommended, as thawing can negatively affect the texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another milk?
Absolutely. Oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, dairy milk, and cashew milk all work beautifully.
Can I make it vegan?
Yes. Simply use maple syrup instead of honey and choose a plant-based milk.
Why is my pudding clumpy?
Usually because the second whisking step was skipped. Whisking again after 5 minutes helps distribute the seeds evenly.
How do I make it thicker?
Add an extra teaspoon of chia seeds or slightly reduce the amount of milk.
How do I make it thinner?
Stir in additional milk until the texture reaches your preference.
