Stir well and add your favorite toppings (fruits, nuts etc). Secure with a lid and place them in the fridge if you are planning to devour them in a week, or the freezer if you want to keep them longer.

Chia seed puddings also work as a great dessert option for folks with a sweet tooth who are trying hard to maintain a balance between weight management and satisfying their cravings.
