A quick and easy chia seed pudding blended with Greek yogurt for a creamy texture, topped with a lightly sweetened berry compote. Perfect for a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (about 45 grams)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (240 ml), full-fat or 2%
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml), any kind such as almond, oat, or cow’s milk
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Berry compote:
  • 1 cup mixed berries (150 grams, fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 cup milk until seeds are evenly dispersed. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
  2. Stir in 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Cover the bowl or transfer mixture into individual jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until pudding thickens.
  4. While pudding chills, prepare berry compote by placing 1 cup mixed berries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until berries break down and mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  5. Once pudding has set, spoon berry compote over the top. Optionally add extra fresh berries or nuts. Serve chilled.

Notes

Whisk chia seeds into milk immediately and again after 5 minutes to prevent clumps. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Use room temperature milk for faster soaking. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Freezing not recommended.
