Agave? Higher on the glycemic index than HFCS…. Recipe’s ok but replace sweetener.
Kirsten Orr
35 grams of sugar per serving is NOT healthy

Very good taste but mine did not set up like a pudding, quite thin.

Yummy! I made it with almond milk, and added a little more chia. Will repeat.

Amazing!!  So simple and easy to make and it is delicious! This is my husband’s and my favorite dessert. I was diagnosed with many food intolerances and IBS 2 1/2 years ago and feel like all my favorite foods were taken away from me. Thanks to this website and this delicious dessert, I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of quality of life back. How funny that this really simple dessert can bring so much happiness. Much thanks to everyone involved.

Very simple to make…and actually quite tasty! Used the granola to garnish as I like some crunch in my puddings. Nice change up for breakfast!
