After 10 minutes, mix everything together again. Be sure to break up any clumps.

Notes

Yogurt: If you opt for flavored yogurt, reduce or skip the sweetener. Taste and adjust before chilling.

Texture: Stir once or twice in the first 15 minutes to stop the chia seeds from clumping.

Large batch: You can prep a big batch and store it in the fridge, then portion it out through the week.

Chill time: Two hours will do the trick, but overnight gives a thicker, creamier result.

Serving cold: This is a cold pudding by design, so no heating or warming needed.

Top before serving: Add fruit, nuts, or granola at the end so they stay fresh and don’t go soggy in the fridge.

Storage instructions

Fridge life: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Best container: Use an airtight jar or container to keep it fresh and prevent any fridge funk.

Toppings: Keep toppings separate until you're ready to eat.

Meal prep: Make several jars at once for easy grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks all week.
