Easy Chia Pudding Recipe

Anahi

Chia pudding is one of the small, healthy habits I have folded into my life here in Arizona, a make-ahead breakfast that feels like a treat while quietly doing my body good. I did not grow up with it, but I did grow up knowing that the food you prepare ahead is the food that actually takes care of you on a hectic morning. A few ingredients, a night in the fridge, and you wake up to something creamy and ready. Make a couple of jars, pile on whatever fruit you love, and give your morning an easy, nourishing head start.

This Strawberry Chia Pudding is a quick, healthy breakfast made with fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds. It’s creamy, naturally sweetened, and perfect for meal prep or busy mornings.
