- Use 4 tbsp for a thicker pudding.
- Stir once after mixing and again after 10 minutes to prevent clumps.
- Chill at least 2 hours, overnight is best.
- Add fresh fruit, berries, or banana slices.
- Top with granola or nuts for crunch.
- Mix in 1-2 tsp cocoa powder for a chocolate version (Mix cacao with the milk first before adding chia, otherwise it can clump.)
