Notes

The pudding pictured has been layered with a mango puree made from frozen mango cooked over low heat and then pureed with an immersion blender.

Storage: keep in a sealed container for up to five days. If it's separated at all during storage, whisk again before serving. I've never had this happen but every yogurt is different.

Freezing: yes, you can freeze yogurt chia pudding, and it freezes well. Prepare as usual and spoon into freezer-safe containers (I use canning jars). Freeze for up to three months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving as usual. If you're going to prep with fruit or toppings, either use frozen fruit and keep it frozen, or make some kind of cooked puree. Don't use thawed frozen fruit.
