How will this triple berry chia pudding make your life easier?

This chia pudding is a great batch cooking breakfast/snack. Make enough to last through the week. It stores well and is really easy to grab and go.

How do I make berry chia pudding?
Mix together chia seeds and water, stir. Set aside on counter for 20-25 minutes, stir occasionally. (don’t let set in fridge, it gets goopy)
Expert Tip: Stir well with a whisk right away, and occasionally so it doesn’t get goopy. Keep at room temperature.
Add milk, vanilla, and sugar after seeds have expanded. Top with fresh berries and enjoy
Expert Tips
- Stir well with a whisk right away
- If you can, stir a couple other times while it sets, this will help prevent clumping
- Let it set at room temperature, this too will help prevent clumping.
- Wash your hands after making, and check your clothes- these chia seeds are sticky! I’ve found them lodged in my fingernails, on my sandals, and stuck to the counter a few times. It’s a bit messy, but super easy to wipe up when hydrated.
FAQ
