Notes
Use milk of preference
Use sweetener of preference, I recommend brown sugar or white sugar
If you're very hungry, I recommend adding yogurt or peanut butter to your coffee chia pudding
Adjust amounts of milk, sweetener, coffee, vanilla to your preference. It's easier to add more, so start small. Test after mixing and then again before serving.
This recipe is easy to make multiple servings for the week at the same time. Store each in individual containers or a big batch to spoon out each serving.
Optional add-ins: more sweetener, Greek or regular yogurt (if using plain yogurt, add extra sweetener), cream, whipped cream, peanut butter, cocoa powder or chocolate shavings
