Notes

Storage :

To Store: Store this pudding in the refrigerator, preferably in your mason jar with a lid. If kept in an airtight container, this chia pudding stay fresh for up to 5 days.
To Freeze: You can freeze chia pudding for 1-2 months in a freezer safe container. Thaw it in the refrigerator prior to serving.

Tips:

The riper the bananas are, the better and sweeter your pudding will be.
To ripen bananas quickly, stab them all over with a sharp knife or fork to create holes. Then put your banana in the microwave on a plate or paper towel and microwave in 30 second increments until soft.
If you don’t like the texture of the seeds and prefer your pudding to be completely smooth, simply blend everything together before placing in the fridge to soak.
