Frequently Asked Questions 

Why is my Coconut Chia Pudding too runny?

Too much liquid or not enough chia seeds can make it thin? Try adding 1–2 more tablespoons of chia seeds and stir well? Let it sit for 30–60 minutes or overnight to thicken naturally?

Why does my pudding have lumps or clumps?

Chia seeds sometimes clump if not stirred properly? Stir the mixture after 5 minutes to break up any lumps? You can also blend lightly for a smoother texture?

Why isn’t my pudding thickening?

Chia seeds need time to absorb the liquid? Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight? This allows the seeds to swell and give a creamy consistency?

Why are chia seeds sinking to the bottom?

Old or stale chia seeds may not gel correctly? Always use fresh seeds and stir well before chilling? Occasional stirring during the first 10 minutes can help them distribute evenly?

Why does the pudding taste bland or odd?

Plain chia pudding can feel a little flavorless for kids? Add natural sweeteners like mashed banana, maple syrup, or a dash of vanilla? Blending the pudding makes it creamy and smooth for toddlers.
