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.

Optional Toppings:
1orangediced into cubes
1/2 cupblueberries
1/4cupwalnuts
1Tbsppumpkin 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.
