Vejledning

Place all the ingredients (minus the toppings) into a glass container and give them a good stir.

Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

If you'd like, add additional liquid in the morning. Once you achieve the desired consistency, enjoy with toppings.

Store chia seeds in the freezer to keep them fresh longer and prevent them from going rancid.

Once assembled, these will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days. If you add fresh fruits, enjoy within 2 days or so.

Hot or cold? These are meant to be enjoyed straight from the fridge. However, if you’re craving something warm, then you can briefly microwave (45 to 60 seconds) or transfer to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through.
