- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are well combined to avoid clumps, especially the chia seeds. This will help the pudding achieve a smooth, consistent texture.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh coconut shreds and high-quality honey enhance the flavor of the pudding. Fresh ingredients also ensure the best texture and nutritional value.
- Customize and Top: Customize your pudding with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits or nuts. Adding toppings just before serving keeps them crisp and adds an extra layer of flavor.
FAQ's

Up to 5 days, depending on the freshness of the ingredients.
Your chia pudding might still be hard if the chia seeds haven't absorbed enough liquid, which can be due to not enough soaking time or an incorrect liquid-to-seeds ratio.
