Notes

Stir everything in a large bowl for ease then chill in the fridge. Once the pudding has thickened, you can portion it out into jars or containers for grab-and-go meals
If the pudding is too dense the next day, just add a splash of milk to loosen it up to your preferred consistency.
Serve: Garnish with any toppings you like and serve as is for breakfast or with eggs on the side. It's a great post-workout snack too. I love meal prepping it and having it in the fridge ready to go.
Store: Place the pudding in mason jars or any container with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. When ready to enjoy, stir the pudding and add your favorite toppings.
