STEP BY STEP
Make it
Combine
Stir chia seeds into milk, adding honey if wanted.
Rest briefly
Wait 2–3 minutes so seeds begin to hydrate.
Stir again
Break up all clumps, then cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
Serve
Stir the pudding and add optional strawberries just before eating.
Good to know
- A second stir is the simplest way to prevent a dry clump at the bottom.
- Keep refrigerated; the plain pudding lasts up to 5 days.
