# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture transforms into something almost like pudding but without any cooking required
  • Pistachios add this incredible buttery richness that pairs perfectly with vanilla and honey
02 -
  • The first time I made this I forgot to stir the chia seeds and ended up with a solid gelatinous layer at the bottom that I had to break up with a fork
  • Fresh pistachios taste completely different from the roasted salted ones in the snack aisle so try to find raw unsalted ones for this recipe
03 -
  • Toast your pistachios in a dry pan for two minutes before chopping to deepen their flavor significantly
  • Let the jar sit on the counter for ten minutes before eating to take the chill off if cold breakfast is not your thing
