Better stock up on those chia seeds cause you’re going to love this Very Berry Chia Pudding. Made with a triple berry punch, this healthy snack or breakfast recipe is full of protein and fiber to keep you full for hours.
Do you fall into food trends? I am 100% guilty of this… Overnight oats took the world by storm and I was obsessed. Then came chia pudding and you better believe I jumped on that train. I love how simple chia pudding is to throw together and how customizable each batch can be!
This berry chia pudding is the ultimate summer treat. Perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert… I bet you’ll crave this on the regular!
Why are chia seeds healthy?
Chia seeds are a powerhouse ingredient. Just 2 tablespoons of chia seeds has 11 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat (5 of those are omega-3 fatty acids). They are packed with antioxidants and may help with chronic inflammation as well as bone health. Chia seeds definitely live up to their “superfood” name! (Source)
Here’s What You Need
- Non-dairy milk – I like using almond or coconut milk.
- Chia seeds – any chia seeds should work! If you find that your chia seeds are absorbing as much liquid as you’d like, it might be time to buy new chia seeds!
- Berries – I used a mixture of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Either fresh or frozen works for this recipe!
- Maple syrup – just a hint of this natural sweetener to balance the berries.
- Vanilla extract – a flavor enhancer to round out the recipe!
Fresh or Frozen Berries?
For this recipe, either works! I personally like the consistency of fresh berries but frozen berries work just as well. I do find that if I use fresh blueberries, I get more flavor if I mash them up a bit before adding to the mixture.
How to Make Berry Chia Pudding
STEP 1: Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl or mason jar. If you mix in a large bowl, transfer the mixture to a storage container with an airtight lid.
STEP 2: Store in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and flavor.
STEP 3: Enjoy cold!

October 5, 2018 at 2:18 pmDo you think it would turn out as well if I were to use ground chia seeds instead of whole?
