Notes
Is chia pudding good for you?
Yes, it's a nutrient-dense option that can make for a great breakfast or snack.
Is it OK to eat chia pudding every morning?
Yes. Chia seed pudding is perfectly healthy to eat every morning. (Unless you’re allergic to one of the ingredients.) Also, keep in mind that it’s a good source of fiber, so you’ll want to make sure you drink enough liquid alongside it.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container, such as a jar, in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. For best results, I recommend enjoying sooner rather than later, though!
