• Storage:
  Keep prepared chia pudding in a sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freezing:
  Divide into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
• Substitutions:
  Any type of milk can be used in place of almond milk. Sweeten with your preferred sweetener or omit entirely.
• Ingredient sourcing:
  Chia seeds are widely available at grocery stores, typically found in the bulk section, cereal aisle, or natural foods area.
• Jar size tip:
  An 8-ounce wide-mouth mason jar works well for this recipe. The pudding fills roughly half the jar, leaving room for toppings.
