Why we love this chia seed pudding recipe

  • Chia pudding is very easy to make, and this recipe is no exception.
  • Coconut milk makes the pudding very tasty. You could easily serve this as dessert instead of breakfast.
  • We like to use maple syrup as a sweetener as the flavor works really well with the coconut milk.
  • Easy to customize with your favorite berries on top.
  • Perfect for meal prep – make a batch on Sunday night and enjoy a tasty breakfast all week long.

How long does it take to make chia pudding

Chia seeds are able to absorb 10x their weight in liquid, which is what makes them gel into pudding. The pudding will start to thicken after about 5 minutes, but it will take much longer to set. Count on at least 2 hours for the pudding to be fully set. I often make it at night, and it is ready for breakfast in the morning.

How long will chia seed pudding last

Chia pudding will last for at least 5 days if kept covered in your fridge.
