- Blending spinach with sweet Medjool dates creates a naturally sweetened base that masks the vegetable flavor perfectly.
- Consistent stirring during the first 15 minutes is crucial to prevent chia seeds from forming lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, but overnight soaking yields the most luxurious, thick pudding consistency.
