- Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra aroma.
- Top with nuts or granola for added crunch.
Storage
Store leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving. You can enjoy it cold or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.

FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?

What if I don’t like matcha powder?
You can omit the matcha or replace it with cocoa powder or vanilla for a different flavor profile. The chia pudding will still be delicious and creamy.
