Soak the chia seeds

In a jar or bowl, combine 1/4 cup of chia seeds with 1 cup of your favorite plant-based milk (such as almond milk or coconut milk). Stir well to make sure the chia seeds are fully immersed in the liquid. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then stir again. This will help prevent clumping.

Let it set

Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and become pudding-like in consistency. Feel free to give it a gentle stir after the first hour to prevent any clumps from forming.
