Tips for the Best Chia Pudding
✅ Use a Good Milk-to-Chia Ratio – Too much liquid makes it runny; too little makes it too thick.
✅ Stir Well – Prevents chia seeds from clumping together.
✅ Chill for at Least 2 Hours – Allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid fully.
✅ Blend for a Smooth Pudding – For a creamier texture, blend before chilling.
