Easy Chia Pudding Recipe
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.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon chia seeds
- 10 fresh strawberries
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Divide the chia seeds:Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to each of three glass containers or jars with lids.
- Blend the strawberry mixture:In a blender, combine strawberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
- Pour and mix: Evenly divide the strawberry mixture among the three containers with chia seeds. Stir well to ensure the seeds are fully incorporated into the liquid.
- Chill overnight: Seal the containers and place them in the fridge overnight (or at least 6 hours) to let the pudding set and thicken.
- Top and enjoy: The next day, give each jar a quick stir and top with extra Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey before serving.
