Description
A simple, no-cook breakfast made with chia seeds, milk, and berries that requires zero morning effort and keeps you full until lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (60g) chia seeds
- 2 cups (480ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
- 1–2 tablespoons (15-30g) sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 medium banana, sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional)
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons granola (for topping)
Instructions
- Wash and slice fresh berries if using; measure out frozen berries.
- In a mason jar or container, pour in the milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until dissolved.
- Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture and whisk immediately and thoroughly for 30 seconds to prevent clumping.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any settled seeds.
- Divide the fruit among the jars, mixing half in and leaving half on top if desired.
- Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Stir well before serving and add toppings like granola or nut butter.
Notes
Stir the chia seeds twice (immediately after adding and after 5 minutes) to prevent clumping. The pudding thickens over time; if it becomes too thick, add a splash of milk. Do not freeze, as the texture may become grainy. Best consumed within 5 days.
