Easy & Healthy Chia Pudding Recipe


 

Looking for a nutritious, make-ahead breakfast? This chia pudding is creamy, delicious, and packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3s. It’s the perfect grab-and-go breakfast that you can customize with your favorite toppings!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, coconut, or oat milk)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

  2. Let it Sit: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.

  3. Check Consistency: After chilling, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like texture. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk and stir.

  4. Add Toppings & Serve: Enjoy as is or top with fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or a drizzle of nut butter.

Delicious Topping Ideas:

  • Fresh Berries – Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries

  • Sliced Banana & Peanut Butter – Creamy and satisfying

  • Coconut Flakes & Mango – A tropical twist

  • Dark Chocolate & Almonds – A healthy indulgence

  • Cinnamon & Apples – Cozy and comforting

Tips for the Best Chia Pudding:

  • Use a good milk-to-seed ratio – 1 cup of liquid to 1/4 cup chia seeds creates the perfect texture.

  • Sweeten to taste – Adjust the honey or maple syrup as needed.

  • Prep in advance – Make multiple jars for an easy breakfast all week!

  • Blend for a smooth texture – If you don’t like the tapioca-like consistency, blend the pudding before refrigerating.

This easy chia pudding is perfect for meal prep and a great way to enjoy a healthy, satisfying breakfast. Give it a try and share your favorite toppings! 🍓🥣
