My second try succeed 🥳 the chia seeds did gel as they were supposed to! (I changed brand.) Also skipped the syrup. Will definitely make this again.

Tried to make this but it did not become like pudding in consistency. The seeds did not "gel up" enough. I will have to try again and do some trouble-shooting 🫤

Hi Cassiopeia's Moon, It sounds like the chia seeds didn't absorb enough liquid. Make sure to stir well after the initial mix and let it sit for at least 8 minutes before refrigerating overnight. Also, check that your chia seeds are fresh, as older seeds may not gel properly 🤗✨

This was such a tasty recipe - will definitely be making this again! I don’t generally like the texture of chia seeds, so I ended up reducing the liquid in the recipe and blending everything before putting it in the fridge overnight (reduced the liquid to match the chia seed/liquid ratios from the blended chia seed pudding recipe in the app). The cinnamon really adds a nice dimension to the flavor. Topped with bananas, raspberries, and strawberries.

I like the taste of this easy chia pudding. But I was wondering: is it correct it is quite fluid? Before I made a chia pudding with less oat milk and added some rolled oats. This made it more of a pudding to me. I think I like both 😅

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 6, 2024, 8:01 p.m.

Hey Hannah, the amount of fluid listed is indeed correct. The chia seeds absorb a lot of liquid overnight! Chia pudding can vary in consistency depending on the ratio of chia seeds to liquid. If you prefer a thicker pudding, you can add less liquid, add more chia seeds or add other ingredients like rolled oats to give it more body 😊

Hi! I love this recipe.
Just wondering - does the nutritional info include the toppings? Or is it just measuring what is in the chia pudding mixture?

SO delicious! I’m normally not a chia pudding person as I don’t usually like the texture, but the flavor on this recipe is so great! I also had some of the PUL Chia Jam from earlier in the week , so I used that instead of berries - - it was great together but I think next time I’ll do it exactly according to the recipe.

So good! I made an error and added 1 cup of chia..oops. I remedied that by doubling all the pudding ingredients. I then had 8 servings for one person, lol. Luckily a quick check on Google confirmed it could be frozen. I had a serving for breakfast with all the other ingredients and it was sooooo good!

I made this recently and it is so flavorful and simple to make. I made the 4 servings option so I’d have several days of breakfast ready to go. I stored the chia pudding in 1/2 pint mason jars and added my toppings when I was ready to eat them. I alternated between fresh blueberries and strawberries and added granola.

I want to give this one a try. Do you need to leave it overnight? Or would it be good to eat straight away?

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 7, 2023, 7:55 p.m.

Hey Rosanne, we wouldn't recommend eating this one straight away since the chia seeds need time to gel. For best results, let the recipe sit overnight otherwise it will probably be gelled enough after 2 hours 🙂

I loved how the chia pudding involves maple syrup, ground cinnamon and vanilla for extra flavour and this was one of the best chia puddings I've ever had! I doubled the chia pudding part for breakfast and then added the recommended toppings (I used the PUL Crunchy Almond & Mango Granola too). So good!
