Notes

Meal Prep

This can be prepared and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days if stored correctly.

Chia pudding can also be prepped and frozen for up to 2 months. It will need to be thawed for about 6-8 hours, or overnight before it can be eaten.

Substitutions

Apricot slices can be changed out for any stone fruit of your choosing. It is important that the fruit is ripe though.

If you have other varieties of nuts in your pantry these will also work. This particular flavor combination works well with roasted almonds or cashews.

Coconut Milk

Coconut milk in a can is slightly thicker than the drinkable coconut milk in a carton. This will lead to a thicker and slightly richer chia pudding, however either will work.
