FAQ
What is this pudding made of?
The base is chia seeds soaked in a liquid (plant milk or water) with strawberries and rhubarb; it can be dairy-free and vegan.
How do I make it?
Soak the chia seeds in the liquid until they gel, cook or blend the rhubarb and fruit as desired, then mix everything and chill.

About 2–4 hours in the fridge; overnight works best.
How many servings does this yield?
Typically 2–4 servings, depending on portion size.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?

Can I customize the fruit or sweetness?
Yes; swap in other berries or fruits and adjust sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or by using less added sugar.
Are there any cautions with chia seeds?
Use enough liquid so the seeds fully hydrate; if new to high-fiber foods, start with smaller portions.
