Banana and chocolate chia pudding FAQs

Is chia seed pudding good for you?

Chia seed pudding provides a source of fibre and can be enjoyed in moderation as part of an overall balanced and varied diet.

What happens to chia seeds in milk overnight?

If you leave chia seeds in milk for around an hour or more, they will absorb the liquid to become chia pudding. If you leave them in milk overnight, this will create a thicker chia pudding with a firmer consistency – ideal for a ready-made breakfast or a snack with minimal effort.
