What Is Chia Pudding?

Chia pudding can be made with just two ingredients: chia seeds and milk (either cow’s milk or non-dairy milk of your choice). Much like overnight oats, it’s extremely versatile and customizable.

Chia seeds absorb up to 10 times their weight in liquid, thus chia pudding is voluminous and filling. It does have a gel-like consistency, hence why it’s called pudding! And you’ll probably want to have dental floss nearby too – those little buggers like to gel to your teeth!

Step 1. Mash berries

Mash the mixed berries in a bowl. The easiest way to mash the berries is to use a fork.
