Keep It Fresh

Store your pudding in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays fresh and delicious for up to five days. This makes it the king of meal prep breakfasts.

Give it a quick stir before eating if it settles. If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk. Do not freeze this, as the texture will change significantly.
