FAQs

Where can I find chia seeds?

Usually, you can find chia seeds at all major grocery stores’ cereal or superfoods section.

How long does it take to thicken this chia pudding?

The chia seeds begin absorbing the liquid quickly, but you need to give the pudding some time to build the gel-like consistency. I recommend a minimum of 2 hours, but you’ll get the best results if you let it sit in the fridge overnight.

For how long can I store the chia pudding?

You may store the chia pudding in a mason jar for up to 1 week in the fridge.

Note

  • It is essential to mix the chia seeds into the milk well to ensure it doesn’t separate in the fridge.
  • If the chia seeds pudding is too liquid and not dense enough, just add more chia seeds, stir again, and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or so.
  • For a denser and creamier chia seeds pudding, use thicker milk like coconut milk.
  • Chia seeds have no flavor, so the pudding will taste like whatever liquid, sweetener, and fruit you are using.
