Overnight, this breakfast chia pudding recipe will be ready for you to grab-n-go in the morning.

When I was working my 9-6 corporate job, the last thing I wanted to think about was finding the time to make breakfast in the morning.

This super easy overnight chia pudding will save you a lot of time and you get to enjoy a healthy and filling breakfast.

Easy And Satisfying Chia Pudding

One of my favorite parts about chia seeds is the texture. Chia seeds gel up when mixed with liquid. I love adding it to my oatmeal or make berry chia jam because of the creamy and jelly-like texture they provide.

You can enjoy this healthy and creamy Chia Pudding as breakfast, snack, or dessert. If you know me, the line between breakfast and dessert is pretty blurry.

The perfect ratio for the Most Creamy Chia Pudding

Tip:

To prevent chia seeds from clumping up, you can either give an extra shake or stir after about 15 minutes of soaking, or you can shake it up really well in the morning before serving.

Sometimes I use a little traveling frother to break up the clumps. This will ensure your chia pudding comes out smooth and creamy.

¼ cup chia seeds + 1 cup liquid of Choice

This ratio is made in order for the chia seeds to soak up all the liquid completely.

You can adjust the texture to your preference accordingly. So if you add more liquid, the texture will be looser. Vice versa, if you add less liquid, some of the chia seeds may not get the chance to swell up. The chia pudding will come out a little chewy and maybe even crunchy.

Tips:

If you accidentally add too much liquid (oops):

In order to save this delicious breakfast, you can microwave the chia pudding for a minute or two. The heat will increase the chia seeds’ ability to soak up a bit more liquid.

Types of Milk I like to use for Chia Pudding

In this recipe, I used canned coconut milk. But if you are like my husband (not a coconut fan), I’ve got you covered with a few other options below. I have tested so many of them, and here is what I found.

1. Coconut Milk

I love using full-fat coconut milk for this recipe. It is thick, coconut-y, and sweet. It makes the chia pudding extra creamy.

2. Cashew milk or other dairy-free milk

I also love using my homemade cashew milk to mix this chia pudding with. You can find the easy 2-ingredient recipe HERE.

3. Full-Fat Milk

When I make these for my kids, I like to use full-fat milk, which pairs amazingly with this sweet and creamy chia pudding.

How About Some Toppings?

You can spice up this simple chia pudding recipe with chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, berry, golden milk, or whatever comes to mind. The sky is the limit when it comes to mix-ins and toppings.

Here are a few of my favorite Toppings:

  1. Fresh or frozen Berries
  2. Granola
  3. Nut butter
  4. Raw Nuts
  5. Coconut Shavings

You can also make a big batch of chia pudding at a time and keep it in the fridge for a few days. It is so easy to make.

This creamy chia pudding is the perfect meal prep to start your day off!
