Please help! I have tried two different brands and it comes out crunchy and not really pudding like. I even tried blending the chia seeds which was better but still grainy. What went wrong? I adored the taste but texturally not pudding...

Hey Nancy! Ok, a few things. Are you using canned coconut milk? It usually works best. You could add a lot more chia too. And this isn't going to be a true pudding in the sense of it being super smooth. The chia does give it a very different texture. Almost a little more custard meets tapioca. I hope this helps!

How long does this last in the fridge ungarnished? I want to make a bigger batch to last a few breakfasts if possible. Looks delicious! :)

Hey Zoe! The longest I would keep in the fridge is three days. I usually eat mine before then anyway. Hope you love it!

I got into this over the summer and love it! You can also add cocoa powder to make a nice chocolate version. It looks awful (especially after a few hours in the fridge but tastes great!

Margaret, right? Chia pudding is the ugly duckling of food...but I'll forever love it.

I love chia pudding and this looks wonderful! The use of coconut milk just takes it over the edge!

What happens if I use coconut milk from the carton or homemade cashew or almond milk? Love the idea but coconut milk in the can is much pricier than these options.

If you use coconut milk from the carton, I might blend in some cashews with it to make it a little thicker and creamier. I've tried before and works great!

Hippie friends unite! The texture is definitely a deal breaker, but I love it personally. This version looks bomb (especially with all those pretty toppings).

I used to be a hater too. But chia kombucha was my gateway drug to this pudding. I still love you and your hippie ways though.
