1 Combine milk and chia seeds in a bowl or mason jar. Pour 2 cups (473 mL) of unsweetened milk of your choice, such as coconut, almond, cashew, or 2% milk, into a bowl or mason jar. Dump 6 tbsp (90 g) of chia seeds in after the milk.[1]

- 1 cup (236.5 mL) of basic chia seed pudding has about 10 g of protein, so it’s great for a post-workout snack!

- 3 Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it thickens. Leave the bowl or jar on the counter at room temperature once all the ingredients are well-combined. Check the consistency of the mixture after 5 minutes.[3]

- 5 Pulse the chia seed pudding in a blender if you want a smoother texture. If you don’t like the texture…
