Instructions
- Grab a bowl or jar with a lid for mixing and storage.
- Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt to your container.

- Stir all ingredients together thoroughly for about 1 minute, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Cover the container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the chia seeds to swell.

Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For a thicker pudding, reduce the milk slightly; for a creamier texture, add a splash more milk.
