Fun fact: chia seeds contain quercetin, an antioxidant that can reduce your risk of developing several health conditions, including ❤️ heart disease. The seeds are also high in fiber , which can help to lower high blood pressure as well.

Nonna’s Tip ❄️

Chill the chia pudding for at least 4 hours , or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and achieve a delicious pudding consistency.

Common Questions

Yes, you can use any sweetener you love, such as honey, agave, stevia, or even regular sugar. Just adjust the amount to taste.

You can use any unsweetened plant milk you love, such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or cashew milk. I used coconut milk here because I love the slight tropical flavor it gives, especially when combined with the mango.

You can store chia pudding in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep it in an airtight container for the best freshness.

Stir the mixture well initially and then again after about 15 minutes. This helps distribute the chia seeds evenly and prevents clumping.

If your pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk and stir well. If it’s too thin, add a bit more chia seeds and let it sit for additional time to thicken.
