Whether it’s for you or the kids, chia pudding is an excellent option for a quick and easy-to-eat meal in the morning. Like overnight oats, you make it in advance so it’s ready first thing. This recipe is packed with nutrition, as chia seeds are a great source of fiber and protein.

This chia pudding recipe is not only beautiful (look at the pretty pink color!) but it’s also delicious. What I love about chia pudding is its versatility – whether you want tropical mango chia pudding or fall spiced chia pudding, it can satisfy whatever flavor combinations you might be craving.

What Is Chia Pudding?

Chia pudding can be made with just two ingredients: chia seeds and milk (either cow’s milk or non-dairy milk of your choice). Much like overnight oats, it’s extremely versatile and customizable.

Chia seeds absorb up to 10 times their weight in liquid, thus chia pudding is voluminous and filling. It does have a gel-like consistency, hence why it’s called pudding! And you’ll probably want to have dental floss nearby too – those little buggers like to gel to your teeth!

Chia Pudding Bowl Recipe

This berry chia seed pudding recipe makes for the perfect light and healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

honey (can sub maple syrup)
vanilla extract
plain milk (feel free to sub almond milk or coconut milk)
plain yogurt

Toppings:

Instructions

Step 1. Mash berries

Mash the mixed berries in a bowl. The easiest way to mash the berries is to use a fork.

Step 2. Add the rest of the ingredients

Add the honey, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. Stir well. Add the yogurt and the milk to the mixture and stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3. Chill for at least 4 hours

Cover the entire mixture and the top of the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place the bowl in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, up to overnight.

Step 4. Divide between bowls

After the chia set has been placed in the fridge and firmed for 4+ hours, divide the mixture evenly between bowls.

Step 5. Add toppings!

Add the toppings (raspberries, blueberries, coconut flakes, toasted almonds, and cubed mango) on top. Serve.

Optional: You could also add a sprinkle of hemp seeds for an extra serving of hearty-healthy Omega-3 fats.
