FAQS
How do I make chia seed pudding with almond milk instead of low-fat milk?
You can easily substitute low-fat milk with almond milk in this chia seed pudding recipe. Simply replace the 250 mL of low-fat milk with the same amount of almond milk and follow the same preparation steps. This will make the pudding dairy-free and suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
What is the best way to store chia seed pudding for meal prep?
To store chia seed pudding, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. It can last for up to 5 days. Make sure to give it a good stir before serving, as the chia seeds may settle at the bottom.
Can I add fruits to my chia seed pudding for extra flavor and nutrition?
Absolutely! Adding fruits like berries, bananas, or mangoes can enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your chia seed pudding. You can mix them in before refrigerating or use them as a topping when serving.
What are some healthy sweetener alternatives for chia seed pudding?
If you're looking for healthy sweetener alternatives for your chia seed pudding, consider using honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference, and mix it well with the chia seeds and milk.
How long should I let chia seed pudding sit before serving?
For the best texture, let your chia seed pudding sit for at least 30 minutes, but overnight in the refrigerator is ideal. This allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
