Notes

It is important to use ground flaxseed, whole flaxseed won't work! Chia seeds can be used whole.
Chia seeds tend to clump when in contact with a liquid, so make sure to stir very well (shaking isn't enough, stir with a spoon!) to break them all up before you store them in the fridge. I also recommend stirring once more 15-20 minutes later.
Plan ahead and make the pudding the night before you need it so it has plenty of time to thicken.
Adjust flavoring ingredients to your taste.
If the pudding turns too thick after a few days in the fridge, then simply add a little more milk.
