- Shake the jar vigorously for about 1 minute to evenly distribute the chia seeds in the liquid.
- Refrigerate the jar overnight, but for the first hour, shake it every 20 minutes to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture. If you skip this step, the seeds tend to float to the top and form clumps.
- Once the pudding has set, serve it with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup. Enjoy chilled.
