Instructions

Place the chia seeds in a 16-ounce mason jar or sizeable bowl that comes with a lid.
Pour the milk over the seeds.
Stir the seeds in your milk until well combined. Let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes at room temperature.
Give it another stir to break up any clumps of chia seed that might have developed—especially at the bottom.
Then close the jar and store it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until it has a nice, thick, pudding-like consistency. Some like the texture better after resting it for 2 hour in the fridge.
You can also let sit overnight in the refrigerator (best for meal prepping).
When ready to consume, give everything a good stir again to break up the seeds and check that the pudding has a good solid consistency.
Top with favorite toppings: nuts, nut butter, sweetener of choice, fruits, spices, etc. See suggestions in post.

Notes

Double the ingredients to double the servings: Use ½ cup chia seeds ( 8 tablespoons/82 grams) per 2 cups of milk to double the servings or make a big batch.
For a thinner chia seed pudding consistency: Use two tablespoons of chia seeds for every cup of milk instead of four.
Make it super creamy: Try blending the chia pudding once thickened but before adding the toppings or extra sweeteners. You'll get a super creamy consistency, almost equivalent to a mousse texture.
Is your chia pudding lumpy in the morning or too thick? It can happen. Stir it well with a spoon or fork. Or add a bit more milk and then stir until you get the right consistency again.
Too thin: Play around with the number of chia seeds you use per cup of liquid. Sometimes, the type of milk or chia seeds you use might require you to add more seeds to get that perfect pudding texture.
What kind of milk? Any milk you prefer, like oat, nut, hemp, coconut, or regular milk. But go for an unsweetened version so you control the level of sweetness that goes into your chia pudding.
Storage: It stays well refrigerated for up to 5 days.
