Notes
- Ingredient substitutions:
- Recipe tips and tricks:
- Storing leftovers:
- Leftover pudding will last tightly covered in the fridge for 5-7 days. I don't advise freezing chia pudding.
- You can use frozen mango cubes if you like.
- You can also substitute the mango for a different type of fruit, like fresh berries or fruit of your choice.
- You can use any type of milk (regular cows milk, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc.)
- Give the chia pudding a good mix while combining to make sure that everything is well mixed. After you let it sit for a few minutes, stir again just to make sure you don't get clumps of seeds.
- If after sitting in the fridge, you feel the chia pudding is still too loose, add another tablespoon or so of chia seeds, stir and let sit for another 30 minutes.
- Make sure you use fresh chia seeds, or ones that have been stored in a tightly sealed bag so that they soak up the liquid properly.
