⚠️ Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them:
🚫 Do not mix well At first: chia forms stuck-together balls. Stir VERY WELL!
🚫 Little time in the fridge: if you don't let it rest long enough, it will turn into a liquid soup. At least 30 minutes, ideally 2 hours.
🚫 Wrong proportion: lots of chia and little liquid = stone. Lots of liquid and little chia = dirty water.
🚫 Very ripe fruits: they release water and make the pudding soft.
📦 How to Store:
- In the fridge: in a closed jar, lasts until 3 days.
- In the freezer: not recommended — the chia texture loses quality.
- Ninja Tip: assemble in individual pots for everyday convenience! 🥣
