Absolutely 🥣✨ — Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy, creamy, and easy-to-make treat or breakfast. The chia seeds absorb liquid overnight, creating a pudding-like texture that’s perfect for layering with fruits, nuts, or chocolate.

2. Refrigerate

🔥 Tips & Variations
- Chocolate chia pudding: Add 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder to the mixture before chilling.
- Tropical twist: Use coconut milk and top with pineapple, mango, and toasted coconut.
- Layered parfaits: Alternate chia pudding with fruit puree or yogurt for a visually stunning breakfast.
- Sweetener options: Adjust sweetness to taste; maple syrup or agave gives a richer flavor than honey.
If you want, I can give a “luxury dessert-style chia pudding” version where it’s extra creamy, layered with compote and chocolate ganache, and tastes like a fancy restaurant dessert 😏.
Do you want me to do that version?
