How can I refine the texture of chia pudding?
If you find that the chia pudding lacks thickness, you can add a little vegetable milk to achieve the desired consistency. Alternatively, if the pudding seems runnier than desired, a sprinkling of extra chia seeds combined with a little patience while it sets can give the perfect result.
