Chia pudding is a delicious and healthy breakfast option. Chia seeds are packed with nutrients and offer a variety of health benefits. Chia pudding is also very easy to make. Simply combine chia seeds with almond milk or oat milk, sweeten to taste, and refrigerate for at least four hours.
Chia pudding is a great breakfast option because it’s high in fiber and protein, which will help keep you full and satisfied until lunchtime. It’s also super easy to make ahead of time so you can grab it and go in the morning. I like to make a big batch on Sunday and then portion it out into individual containers for the week.
Toppings are optional but make the pudding even more delicious. Try topping your chia pudding with fresh fruit, toasted nuts, or shredded coconut.
Here are two of my favorite chia pudding recipes:
Matcha Chia Pudding
Ingredients:
- ½ cup chia seeds
- ¾ cup almond milk or oat milk (I like to use almond milk for this recipe)
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice (I like to use honey or maple syrup)
Toppings:
- Toasted Coconut flakes
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients except toppings in a bowl or jar and mix well. Refrigerate for at least four hours. When ready to eat, top with toasted coconut flakes.
Coffee Chia Pudding:
Ingredients:
- ½ cup chia seeds
- ¾ cup almond milk or oat milk (I like to use oat milk for this recipe)
- ½ teaspoon instant coffee powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice (I like to use honey or maple syrup)
Toppings:
- Toasted almond slices
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients except toppings in a bowl or jar and mix well. Refrigerate for at least four hours. When ready to eat, top with toasted almond slices.
Lots of love for chia seeds!
These two chia pudding recipes are my current favorites but I’m always experimenting with new flavors. Some other combinations I’ve tried and liked are: cacao powder and almond butter, raspberry, and mango and lime. Chia pudding is a great base recipe to have in your repertoire because it’s so versatile and can be easily customized to fit your mood or what you have on hand.
I hope you enjoy these recipes! Let me know in the comments below if you try them out or if you have any other favorite flavor combinations. And if you’re looking for more healthy breakfast ideas, check out this post on overnight oats recipes.
