Ingredient Notes

Chia seeds – Chia pudding can be made with both white chia seeds and black chia seeds. Use the chia seeds that are most accessible to you!
Peanut butter – For the best flavour and consistency, I recommend using natural peanut butter, made simply with 100% peanuts. I recipe tested this with processed peanut butters and it worked, but it altered the flavour because they contain sugar and oil, it also altered the thickness. I prefer it with natural peanut butter.
Almond milk – This recipe uses almond milk, which is my preference. I also recipe tested this with soy milk and it was delicious. Oat milk also worked but resulted in a slightly sweeter chia pudding because it’s naturally a sweeter milk.

My Top Chia Pudding Tip:

Whisk twice! Most chia seed pudding recipes will instruct you to mix once to combine, then refrigerate. After years of recipe testing several chia pudding recipes, I’ve found it’s best to whisk twice! Mix the ingredients together once, set aside for 5 minutes, then whisk again. This will ensure no clumping in your chia pudding.
