Notes

FAQs

Can I prepare my chia bowl the night before?

Absolutely! Chia pudding actually benefits from being prepared in advance as it allows the seeds to absorb liquid fully. Just mix all the ingredients together before bed and wake up to a ready-to-eat breakfast.

Are there any alternatives for dairy-free options?

Yes, you can use plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, or soy milk as a substitute for dairy. This ensures that those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan lifestyle can also enjoy chia bowls.

Can I add sweeteners to my chia bowl?

Certainly! You can sweeten your chia pudding with natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.

Can I freeze chia pudding?

Yes, you can freeze chia pudding for up to three months. However, it's important to note that the texture may change slightly upon thawing. Consider adding fresh toppings after thawing for added freshness.

Are there any specific toppings that go well with chia bowls?

The choice of toppings is entirely up to you! Popular options include fresh fruits like berries and bananas, nuts and seeds for added crunch, granola for extra texture, and a drizzle of nut butter or chocolate sauce for indulgence. Get creative and have fun experimenting!
