How long does chia pudding keep?
Chocolate chia pudding can be stored, covered, in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. This means you can make a larger batch and enjoy it throughout the week.
I like to give my pudding a quick stir before serving. Does chia pudding freeze? It does! You could freeze individual serving sizes in sealed freezer-proof containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Pop each in the refrigerate to thaw overnight (6 - 8 hours) to serve.
