Ingredients
- 1 cup homemade cashew milk, almond milk or light coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon orange zest, preferably from an organic orange

Instructions
- Grab a small jar or bowl. Pour in the milk, add orange zest, and a dash of vanilla extract. Give it a taste test.

Notes
Pick Your Milk Buddy: Any milk hanging out in your fridge is cool for this chia pudding party. I roll with almond milk, but dairy, almond, or cashew milk all join the creamy crew. Feeling fancy? Crack open a can of coconut milk for a thick and rich vibe.
Sweetness, Your Way: Not into sugar highs? Skip the sweet stuff or go for the low-sugar game. Monk fruit or stevia can step in as the sweet squad. You do you!
