Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fruit
Instructions
-
Combine chia seeds and liquid in a jar or bowl.

Notes
Consistency: The ratio is a guideline. For a thicker pudding, use more chia seeds; for a thinner pudding, use more liquid.
Avoid Clumps: Stirring well at the beginning and once more after 5 minutes is crucial to prevent a lumpy texture.
Flavor Ideas: Get creative! Add cinnamon, fruit purees, nut butter, or cocoa powder when mixing.
Digestive Tip: If new to chia seeds, start with a smaller portion to allow your system to adjust to the high fiber content.
