How to Store and Enjoy

• Keep covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy for up to 5 days. 
• If making as meal prep, I like to separate the mixture into separate pre-portioned jars. Of course, this isn’t the only way of doing it. But it helps things be a bit more streamline when you’re busy during the week and want something as convenient as possible.
• If after a few days the pudding consistency becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of extra milk, mix well and enjoy as usual.

Pro Tip: Double (or triple) the recipe to have a few extra servings ready for the week. Trust me; future-you will thank you! This recipe takes 5 minutes to prepare so there’s really no excuse anymore. You got this!
