Notes
If you're able to, you can stir the pudding 1 or 2 times during refrigeration to lessen the amount of chia clumps.
I found that using a wider vessel provides the best results with less clumping. I used a 7-cup glass container with a 7-inch diameter.
See the post above regarding using a different type of plant-based milk.
Store in an airtight container(s) in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
