Good to know
Chia pudding stopped being a trend long ago – it's a real classic now. The little seeds swell up enormously.
Swaps
Almond milk → oat milk (if you'd like to avoid nuts; oat milk also brings a sweetness of its own).
Cooking tips
You must stir the pudding again after the first few minutes. If you don't, all the seeds sink to the bottom and form a hard block.
Storage
Well sealed, the pudding keeps in the fridge for up to four days.
Allergens
Contains tree nuts (almond). Completely gluten-free.
