🧺 Ingredients

  • ½ cup chia seeds (black or white)

Mix until fully blended.

Step 2: Add Chia Seeds

Whisk in the chia seeds slowly while stirring to prevent clumps.

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I use dairy milk?
Yes, but calories and points will increase depending on milk type.

Q: My pudding is too thin. What should I do?
Add 1–2 tbsp more chia seeds and refrigerate 1 more hour.

Q: Can I make single servings?
Yes. Divide mixture into small jars for grab-and-go portions.

Q: Can I add fruit before chilling?
It’s better to add fruit when serving so it doesn’t release extra liquid.
