A quick and easy overnight chia seed pudding with mixed berries, perfect for a nutritious and fuss-free breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) milk of choice (almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (about 75 grams) mixed berries (fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (8 fl oz) of your chosen milk into a jar or bowl. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. Stir vigorously with a whisk or fork to prevent clumping and evenly disperse the seeds.
  3. Optional: Stir in 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  5. Before serving, stir the pudding to check consistency. Top with ½ cup mixed berries. If using frozen berries, thaw quickly or add frozen for a chilled effect.
  6. Enjoy chilled straight from the fridge or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if preferred less cold.

Notes

Stir chia seeds thoroughly to avoid clumps. Soak overnight for best texture; minimum 2 hours if in a hurry. Adjust sweetness to taste. Use plant-based milk and sweetener for vegan version. Add spices like cinnamon or cardamom for flavor variations. Store leftovers up to 3 days in refrigerator, keep berries separate if possible.
