Ingredients
4tbsp.chia seeds
1cupplant-based milk(I make sprouted oat milk; recipe coming soon)
Add all the ingredients into a long-term storage container (I use a Mason jar).
Stir to mix well and refrigerate for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the pudding will thicken and start to separate.
When the time is up, remove the pudding from the refrigerator and mix again to ensure no clumps or separation.
At this point, I like to separate the pudding into individual servings using repurposed Oui yogurt glass jars and closing them with bamboo lids. Then, I place the container back in the refrigerator for at least two hours. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the milk and sweetener, leaving you with an excellent tapioca pudding-like texture.
When you're ready to eat, you can top it with cinnamon, fresh fruits of your choice, or really, anything your heart desires.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
