🌱 Use full-fat coconut milk or add a spoon of nut butter for a more indulgent feel.

🍯 Sweeten with care — the pudding is naturally sweet if you add fruit or cinnamon.

🌼 For spiritual mornings, add rosewater, cardamom, or saffron — they turn food into poetry.

Always be patient — chia pudding is slow food. Let it unfold.
