This basic chia pudding is a healthy breakfast that you can make ahead of time + have ready to go on busy mornings! If you find yourself short on time in the mornings, you can prepare this the night before or even on weekends and portion it out in individual containers. Customize your pudding with your favorite fruits, seeds, nuts, or spices.
How To Make Basic Chia Pudding:
- Start with dry chia seeds, black or white will do. White chia seeds are higher in protein and omega-3.
- Place the chia seeds in a jar with vegan milk of your choice (or dairy milk if not vegan).
- Let sit for 30 minutes or overnight. This basic chia pudding will stay fresh up to 5 days in a jar in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Options: make several jars so that you can just add your fruit or flavors in the morning and take it to go!
How to Flavor Your Basic Chia Pudding:
- Fruit (guava, bananas, mango, strawberries, apples) just about anything!
- Spices (cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, cardamom) or anything you like! Try this Chai Chia Recipe ( yum!)
- Granola. I like to layer in granola in my breakfasts. If going with a store bought granola watch the sugar content and check the labels if you want it gluten free. Or make your own!
- Chocolate chips, chunks, or cocoa powder.
- Add oats or yogurt if you want to make it thicker.
