A quick and easy chia pudding recipe made three ways with simple ingredients, perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert that is both nourishing and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or coconut, oat, or dairy milk)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for chocolate mint variation)
  • ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, for Berry Bliss)
  • ½ cup ripe mango chunks (for Tropical Mango Coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (for Tropical Mango Coconut)
  • Fresh mint leaves or peppermint extract (for Chocolate Mint)
  • Optional toppings: toasted nuts, granola, Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, nut butter

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk into a bowl.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons (45 g) of chia seeds and 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of sweetener.
  3. Stir vigorously with a whisk or spoon to prevent clumps.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon (7 g) of cocoa powder for the chocolate mint version and mix well.
  5. Prepare the fruit purée: blend ½ cup (75 g) mixed berries for Berry Bliss, or ½ cup (80 g) ripe mango chunks for Tropical Mango Coconut. For Chocolate Mint, finely chop fresh mint leaves or add a drop of peppermint extract.
  6. Fold the fruit purée gently into the chia mixture. For Tropical Mango Coconut, stir in 2 tablespoons (14 g) shredded coconut.
  7. Transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, stir the pudding. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
  9. Top with nuts, granola, or extra fruit as desired.
  10. Optional: Blend the pudding once after soaking for 30 seconds for a silkier texture.

Notes

Stir the chia mixture again 5 minutes after initial mixing to prevent clumps. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Blend after soaking for a silkier pudding. Use thawed berries for better purée texture. Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed. Add toppings just before serving to avoid sogginess.
