Chia Seed Yogurt Pudding

Every morning, I enjoy a bowl of chia seed pudding—it’s a delicious and nourishing way to start the day. Packed with fiber, omega-3s, and protein, it keeps me feeling full and energized. I love adding a scoop of yogurt for probiotics and topping it with fresh fruit and walnuts for the perfect mix of sweetness and crunch.

Prep Time 5

Serving Size 1 serving

Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds
3/4 cup milk, any kind
2 Tbsp plain yogurt, any kind
1-2 tsp honey
1/2 scoop protein powder optional (Just Ingredients is my favorite)

Optional Toppings:

1 orange diced into cubes
1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup walnuts
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Assemble the chia seed pudding: Either the night before or 2 hours before breakfast, make the chia pudding by whisking the first 4 ingredients together. If adding protein powder, add it now. To prevent clumping, gently whisk the chia seeds into the yogurt and milk mixture for 1 minute. Put a lid on the bowl and place it in the refrigerator.
Prepare breakfast: Chia seed yogurt pudding can be eaten in the bowl it was made in, but I like to also spread it on a dinner bowl to make a beautiful presentation.
Add additional toppings, per your choosing, and have fun with the recipe. Listed above are my favorite toppings, but I've also listed many others below in the NOTES. Enjoy chia pudding and eat it often.
