Notes

  • Stir twice! Stir immediately and then give it a good stir again after 5 minutes to avoid clumps. Although this is a simple recipe, stirring out the lumps is the most important part of achieving a good texture.
  • Toppings: Only add your fresh fruit and toppings just as you’re about to serve. This will ensure that the fruits don't get soggy.
  • Sweetness: Taste your chia pudding to see that you’re happy with the flavor and level of sweetness before you let it ‘set’.
  • Nutritional calculation without toppings.
