I need easy and healthy grab and go options for breakfast since I leave the house before sunrise. This overnight chia seed pudding has become a new morning staple in my house. Everyone I have shared this with agrees it is delicious for breakfast or a healthy snack during the day.
The below recipe makes four 8 oz. servings and I make them as individual servings in low 14 oz. glass bowls from IKEA . I add a lot of fresh fruit on top with a drizzle of agave and still put the lid on.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup milk (you can use any type of milk you like, including nut based or coconut)
- 1 5.3 oz. small container of plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1/2 tablespoon of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Zest of a lemon, lime, grapefruit or orange – whichever you prefer – this is optional but it adds a lot of flavor!
- Fresh fruit of your choice – I like to make a triple berry with raspberries, blackberries & blueberries. I’ll add mango and fresh mint too! You can use whatever you like most.
- Agave syrup – optional
Step One: In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup add the milk and Greek yogurt. Whisk well to combine the yogurt into the milk.
Step Two: Add the honey, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of kosher salt and whisk again.
Step Three: Zest the citrus of your choice into the bowl and whisk one final time. Set aside.
Step Four: Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into each glass bowl, this will equal 1/2 cup of chia seeds. Pour 1/2 cup of the milk mixture to each bowl and stir to combine.
Step Five: Then put all of the chia seed puddings in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours to let them set.
Step Six: Next, clean all of your berries and put them in a large glass Tupperware.
Step Seven: After the chia pudding is set you can add the berries on top, drizzle with agave (optional but delicious)!
Enjoy!
