Chef's Note
For the best texture, make sure to whisk the chia seeds thoroughly to prevent clumping. This pudding can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making it perfect for busy mornings. For a thicker pudding, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds, or for a thinner consistency, add more almond milk.
