Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup milk (cow’s milk or plant milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh fruit (berries, sliced banana, etc.)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)
  • Seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
  • Granola
  • Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter)

Instructions

  1. Gather Supplies: Measure out ¼ cup chia seeds, ½ cup Greek yogurt, and 1 cup milk to prepare for mixing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk together.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly dispersed and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add Flavor and Sweetener: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1–2 tbsp natural sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as desired.
  5. Let it Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent chia seed clumping.
  6. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to let the pudding thicken and set.
  7. Adjust Consistency: After refrigeration, check the pudding’s texture. If it is too thick, stir in more milk; if too thin, add more chia seeds and let it sit longer.
  8. Serve with Toppings: Add your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, or nut butter before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt depending on your preference for creaminess or calorie content.
  • Plant-based milk alternatives (almond, soy, oat) work well if avoiding dairy.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste; start with less sweetener and add more if needed.
  • Stirring after 5 minutes prevents clumps in the pudding for a smoother texture.
  • Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is easily customizable with various toppings and flavorings.
