How to Make the Best Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seed pudding is a no-cook breakfast that comes together in minutes with just a few simple ingredients. These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients and create a creamy, naturally sweetened pudding that’s perfect for busy mornings or when you want a nutritious snack.

Why Chia Seed Pudding?

This vegan pudding is incredibly versatile and customizable. Whether you prefer your milk oat-based, coconut-based, or almond-based, the pudding works beautifully. The beauty of chia seeds is that they absorb liquid and develop a pudding-like texture overnight, eliminating the need for any cooking. It’s an ideal breakfast for meal prep—make a few servings at the beginning of the week and grab one whenever you’re ready.

Customize Your Pudding

The real fun comes from topping your pudding. Fresh berries, sliced bananas, granola, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of nut butter all pair wonderfully. You can also adjust the sweetness by using more or less maple syrup, or try adding a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the base mixture for extra flavor.

Notes
