Can I use pre-ground chia seeds for this pudding?

Whole chia seeds work best because they maintain their structural integrity and create the characteristic gel texture. Ground seeds absorb liquid too quickly, resulting in a thick, pasty consistency rather than a smooth pudding.

How long does prepared pudding last in the refrigerator?

A sealed jar stays fresh for up to five days in the refrigerator. It makes a fantastic meal-prep option for busy work weeks when you need breakfast ready immediately.

What should I do if my pudding turns out too runny?

If the mixture lacks thickness after resting overnight, simply stir in an extra teaspoon of dry chia seeds or a tablespoon of hemp hearts, then let it sit in the refrigerator for another thirty minutes.

Is it safe to consume chia seeds every single day?

Yes, daily consumption is generally safe and beneficial, provided you increase your water intake alongside the rise in fiber. Drinking plenty of water helps fiber move smoothly through the digestive system.
