Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- Use unsweetened soy milk instead of almond milk for a nut-free version with more protein, and leave off the sliced almonds or use pumpkin seeds.
- Swap the maple syrup for a little mashed ripe banana or simply leave it out if your berries are sweet.
- Use frozen mixed berries instead of fresh, thawing them in the fridge overnight so they are ready at breakfast.
- Top with toasted unsweetened coconut flakes instead of sliced almonds for a nut-free crunch.
Storage
Keep the pudding covered in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days, adding the berries and almonds just before serving so they stay fresh and crisp. It is not a good candidate for freezing, as the texture turns watery when thawed.
Make ahead
Mix the chia base in individual jars up to 3 days ahead and keep them sealed in the fridge. Stir before serving, adding a splash of almond milk if it has thickened too much, then add the toppings.
