Chia seed pudding is an ideal option if you want a satisfying indulgence that’s low in sugar, calories, or carbs. You can eat it for breakfast using the basic recipe or any of the variations listed below. It’s also good as a low-sugar, low-carb dessert.

Chia seed pudding requires no cooking, and takes only a couple of minutes to prepare. Then let it soak for 1-2 hours or overnight. You can find chia seeds in most supermarkets, natural foods stores, or online retailers.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

  • For chocolate chia pudding, add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa with the vanilla extract
  • Use regular milk or soy milk instead of almond milk for added protein
  • Add ½ ripe mashed banana to your chia seed pudding and cut the milk to ¾ cup for a naturally sweet and delicious pudding
  • Another option is to use ½ cup of applesauce and ½ cup of milk
  • Try serving the pudding with cinnamon and diced apple

Recipe for Overnight Chia Seed Pudding

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-fat/reduced-fat milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced almonds

Directions

  1. In a jar or a bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then give it another stir to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results. Stir the pudding after 30 minutes to prevent clumping of the chia seeds. The pudding is ready when the chia seeds absorb the liquid and the pudding becomes thick and creamy.
  4. Top your pudding with fresh berries and sliced almonds if desired.
