The Easiest Overnight Chia Pudding

It is no surprise that chia seeds have exploded in popularity over the last several years. Chia seeds have incredible health benefits, such as delivering a mass amount of nutrients with very little calories. So don’t be fooled by their tiny size! They really pack a punch! This ridiculously easy overnight chia pudding recipe is not only a healthy option. But it is delicious! I make this often, and typically double or even triple the recipe so my breakfast is ready for a few days. It’s really the perfect breakfast option to keep you going throughout your busy work week.

Not only is this overnight chia pudding recipe DELICIOUS!

But it really satiates your hunger with its expanding properties. Chia seeds are low in calories, giving you the feeling of fullness without overeating. Chia pudding is a delicious, nutritional breakfast o snack that can help aid in weight loss or weight maintenance. If you have yet to try this trendy breakfast option, you really, really should give it go!

I love this basic recipe because you can change up the toppings for a new experience each time. So typically, I’ll make a rather large batch to last a few days for myself and husband. Then in the morning, I’ll quickly add some fresh chopped berries, or broken coconut smiles, chopped walnuts or pecans. Or a combination of all three!

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk or almond milk
• 3.5 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or date syrup, optional

Instructions

• Add all 3 base ingredients to an airtight container or mason jar and mix well or shake vigorously. Refrigerate overnight or 6 hours.
• Enjoy topped with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, shredded coconut or granola.

Notes

Feel free to double, triple, or quadruple the recipe, as needed. I like to make a large batch and divide into small containers or jars to have ready made breakfasts or snacks for a few days.

For the best results, re-stir or shake your pudding 10-15 minutes after refrigerating to break up any clumps of seeds, and get the best texture.

If your pudding is not as thick as you'd like, add more chia seeds and let sit in the fridge a bit longer.

If you don't like the texture of chia pudding, you may blend the pudding in a high speed blender which will give you a more traditional pudding texture, as opposed to a tapioca type texture.

The basic chia pudding recipe keeps refrigerated for about 5 days.
