Notes

- Golden flaxseeds or brown flaxseeds can be used in this recipe.
- Any milk, plant based, dairy or coconut, can be used in this recipe.
- Any sweetener can be used for this recipe such as honey, maple syrup, sugar, brown sugar or even coconut sugar.
- If you’d like a smoother, thinner consistency add another ¼ cup of milk to the mixture before chilling.
- Add any of your favorite topping to this delicious dish from mixed berries, shredded coconut, shaved chocolate, yogurt or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Flaxseed pudding can be divided into individual jars and stored, covered in the fridge for up to 4 days making this a great recipe for those that like to meal prep.
