Chia Seed Pudding

Directions:

  1. Whisk the milk, chia seeds, and sweetener together in a large bowl. (For a thin and runny chia pudding, use 1/2 cup chia seeds. For a thick chia pudding, use 3/4 cup chia seeds.)
  2. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. It helps to stir the mixture every so often during this time, but don't worry if you can't. I usually do once before bed.
  3. Stir well before serving.
  4. Portion into bowl(s) and add your desired toppings. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
