When I was first introduced to chia pudding, I was hooked. Every now and then I forget about how good it is and then I’m reminded of it and I become hooked again. If you haven’t tried chia pudding, now is the time! It’s creamy, indulgent, and a wonderful choice for a healthy breakfast or snack. It’s also incredibly easy to make, containing just a few simple ingredients.

Chia seeds are low in calories, high in fiber, protein, and loaded with antioxidants. Chia seeds expand when they reach your stomach, which means they keep you full for long. Low in calories and filling makes chia pudding the ideal breakfast or snack.

I like to prep my chia pudding at the beginning of the week in glass jars. These are the jars I use – they’re great quality and the perfect size to keep you satisfied but not full! It’s a great option for grab & go breakfast or a filling snack. The perks of making chia pudding in advance is that you’ll always have a nutritious option ready to enjoy on the go!

Chia Pudding Ingredients

• Chia Seeds – I get mine from Amazon (I love Mamma Chia) or Costco. Most grocery stores carry chia seeds.

• Plant Milk – any plant milk will work – I usually use oat milk. The plant milk gels with the chia seeds to create a pudding consistency.

• Maple Syrup – to sweeten things up.

• Vanilla Extract – to add some vanilla flavor.

How To Make The Best Chia Pudding

Simply mix all the ingredients together and leave it in the refrigerator for at least four hours. I usually make my chia pudding at the start of the week and keep it in the fridge.

Topping Ideas

• Fruit – strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, the list goes on!

• Granola – highly recommend making my homemade granola. It’s made with just 5 ingredients and ready in less than 20 minutes.

• Coconut Flakes

• Cacao Nibs

• Yogurt

• Nuts: walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, peanuts, etc.

• Nut Butter: almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower seed butter.

• Seeds: hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds.

• Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, matcha.

There are so many different flavors and varieties when it comes to making chia pudding, so get creative and try all sorts of toppings! My go to toppings are strawberries, blueberries, slivered almonds, hemp seeds, and a drizzle of almond butter.

Variations of Chia Pudding

This blackberry yogurt chia pudding is one of my favorites. Plus, it’s almost too pretty to eat but loaded with vitamins and nutrients to help you feel nourished all morning!

To make my blackberry yogurt chia pudding – layer chia pudding, blackberry yogurt (frozen blackberries, thawed and mashed, then mixed with plain yogurt), plain yogurt, granola (highly recommend making my homemade granola), fresh blackberries, almond butter and hemp seeds in a jar. It’s an explosion of flavors that are so delicious!
