Print Recipe

A quick and easy healthy breakfast pudding made by soaking chia seeds overnight, topped with fresh berries for a creamy, refreshing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk, or coconut milk)
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (40 g) chia seeds (black or white)
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk, ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract until smooth and well blended, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in ¼ cup (40 g) chia seeds thoroughly to prevent clumping.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to avoid seeds sinking and clumping.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into 2-3 mason jars or small airtight containers. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
  5. Just before serving, wash and gently pat dry about 1 cup (150 g) of mixed berries. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon lemon zest over the berries if using.
  6. Spoon the chilled chia pudding into bowls or serve directly from jars, top generously with fresh berries, and enjoy immediately. Optionally, add a drizzle of honey or sprinkle nuts for crunch.

Notes

Stir the pudding halfway through soaking to prevent clumps. Use fresh cold milk and yogurt for best texture. If pudding is too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Frozen berries can be used but add just before serving to avoid watery pudding. Variations include adding cocoa powder for chocolate flavor or swapping sweeteners and toppings to suit dietary needs.
