Why These Ingredients

Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Common Mistakes:

Not stirring after 5 minutes — the chia seeds will clump if left undisturbed. Always give it a second stir.
Chilling for too little time — the pudding needs at least 1 hour to thicken properly; overnight is best.
Using a watery yogurt — thicker yogurts like coconut or cashew-based give the creamiest result.

Notes:

The ratio of yogurt to milk affects thickness — more yogurt gives a denser pudding, more milk makes it lighter.
Works well layered in a jar with granola or fruit for a parfait-style presentation.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
Stir before serving, as it may thicken over time. Add a splash of non-dairy milk to loosen if needed.
Not suitable for freezing.

Tips:

If too thick, stir in a splash of non-dairy milk. If too thin, add another teaspoon of chia seeds and chill longer.
For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut yogurt.
