Notes
Pick Your Milk Buddy: Any milk hanging out in your fridge is cool for this chia pudding party. I roll with almond milk, but dairy, almond, or cashew milk all join the creamy crew. Feeling fancy? Crack open a can of coconut milk for a thick and rich vibe.
Sweetness, Your Way: Not into sugar highs? Skip the sweet stuff or go for the low-sugar game. Monk fruit or stevia can step in as the sweet squad. You do you!
Nutrition Talk: Crunching the numbers? If you're using unsweetened almond milk and keeping it real with no toppings, that's your nutrition lowdown. Keep it simple, keep it tasty!
