Notes
- Once portioned into the jar, you can easily add in your fruit or mixings on top before it sits. However, they do become soggy sometimes. Personally, I prefer to add any extra toppings I want right before eating.
- The cinnamon is optional, it adds amazing flavor but does change the color of the chia pudding. I personally just dust the top with it.
- You can either mix the chia pudding ingredients in a bowl and then portion them into a jar, or you can add the ingredients into a jar and shake it to combine them.
- The longer chia seed pudding sits, the more liquid it absorbs (the thicker it gets) for up to twenty-four hours.
- Don’t skip double mixing the chia pudding! It’s the number one hack to make sure that your dairy-free chia pudding comes out smooth and creamy and not clumpy.
