• 2 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/2 cup almond milk or milk of choice
• 1 teaspoon honey or other sweetener, optional
• Strawberries or other fruits for topping

* You can also leave out the sweetener if you prefer to sweeten it only with toppings like fresh fruit, dried fruit or chocolate chips.

1. Pour ingredients into a jar and mix well. Let settle for 2-3 minutes then mix again very well until you see no clumping.
2. Cover the jar and store in fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours.
3. When you’re ready to eat it, top with your favorite fruit and enjoy cold!

When it’s time to mix in the chia seeds, I recommend mixing very well until all the chia seeds are incorporated into the milk. Then wait a few minutes for the chia pudding to settle and mix again. This will ensure it doesn’t separate in the fridge. Check to make sure there are no clumps and don’t refrigerate it until it’s clump-free. The chia seeds will absorb all the milk and sweetener and be ready to eat then.

They last in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Choosing Mix-Ins and Toppings

You’ve got your Overnight Chia Pudding sitting there like a blank canvas. It’s just waiting for you to add some personal flair and your favorite flavors!

• Grab some fresh berries, bananas, shredded apple – whatever fruit you have on hand. Try mango, pineapple or kiwi for tropical vibes.
• Swirl in jelly (we recommend 100% pure fruit jelly or jam) or pureed fruit for another pop of fruit flavor.
• Sprinkle granola, toasted coconut, or nuts on top (or stir some in) for a fun crunch.
• Add a splash of your favorite extracts and flavorings for a subtle flavor boost. We usually at least add some vanilla extract, for example. But a tiny bit of almond extract works great.
• Try stirring in Nutella, cocoa powder for a decadent, chocolate-y flavor. Mmm… perfect for dessert!

Substitutes: You can use any milk of choice. You can also use any sweetener of choice.

Storage: Store the chia pudding in a mason jar or Tupperware for up to 1 week in the fridge.

Sourcing: You can find chia seeds at all major grocery stores. It’s usually in the bulk section or with the cereal or superfoods.

Product Reference: I use these 8 ounce wide mouth mason jars when I make chia pudding. The chia pudding fills up about half the jar, leaving room for toppings.
