Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Milk. You can use literally any milk in this chia seed pudding with great results. I usually opt for unsweetened vanilla almond milk, coconut milk or whole milk.
Honey. Maple syrup is a great vegan sweetener option. When I make this recipe for myself I use 2 Tablespoons of sweetener, when I make it for my family I use 4. I recommend starting with 2 and taste testing.
Vanilla. the pure vanilla extract in this chia pudding gives it the best flavor - I don't recommend skipping the vanilla or making substitutions.
Chia Seeds. No substitute here! You can use black or white chia seeds.
Store/FreezeStore this chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Do not microwave to thaw.
