Step 5: Add Greek Yogurt
For an extra creamy pudding, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt.
This
step is completely optional. Greek yogurt creates a thicker, creamier texture and adds a mild tangy flavor.
Stir everything thoroughly until the mixture looks evenly combined.
Step 6: Let the Mixture Rest
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5–10 minutes.
This short resting period gives the chia seeds time to begin absorbing the milk.
Step 7: Stir Again
After 5–10 minutes, stir the pudding again.
This is an important step because chia seeds can settle or clump together while they begin absorbing liquid. A second stir helps distribute them
evenly.
Make sure you scrape around the bottom and sides of the container so that no dry seeds remain underneath.
Step 8: Cover the Container
Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place it in the refrigerator.
Step 9: Refrigerate
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, although leaving it overnight usually produces an even thicker texture.
