Tip 2: Sweeten to Taste
Maple syrup is a natural sweetener that adds a subtle flavor. However, you can also use agave nectar, date syrup, or even stevia for a lower-calorie option. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Tip 3: Avoid Clumping
To prevent chia seeds from clumping, stir the mixture a couple of times during the initial stages of refrigeration. This ensures a smooth and even texture.
Tip 4: Experiment with Flavors
Add a twist to your chia seed pudding by incorporating different flavors. A dash of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or matcha can add variety and enhance the taste.
Tip 5: Meal Prep Friendly
Chia seed pudding is perfect for meal prep. Prepare a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Portion it out into individual servings for a quick grab-and-go option.
Tip 6: Boost the Nutrition
Enhance the nutritional profile of your pudding by adding a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of flaxseeds, or a handful of hemp seeds.
