Our Chia Pudding recipe is a healthy breakfast or snack option that tastes like dessert, but is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It only takes a few minutes to prep and we enjoy it best topped with berries and granola.

Breakfast, Snack, Dessert…Chia Pudding is the healthy treat that does it all.

I’m that girl always looking for a breakfast, post work-out snack, or late-night treat that’s healthy, but also curbs my sweet tooth, and this homemade Chia Pudding hits the spot every time. It tastes like a creamy treat, but is full of fiber, healthy fats, and I add a scoop of protein powder so it keeps me fuller longer. It’s a great option if you’re tracking macros or just trying to eat more protein. Make a big batch because it will last all week. I love to top it with fresh berries and my favorite granola.

How to make Chia Pudding:

Combine: Add milk, chia seeds, protein powder, agave, and vanilla to a bowl or jar and stir well. Set aside for 10 minutes, then stir again—the seeds should have started to gel. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight. Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Serve with berries and granola on top. If you love this recipe, make sure to try my Chocolate Overnight Oats, Strawberry Overnight Oats, and Pitaya Bowl!

I’m glad to see you are making people aware of chia seed pudding. It’s a great snack or even a light meal. For one serving I use 2 tablespoons of chia seeds (I prefer the white version) and one half cup of unsweetened almond milk. Sometimes I add craisins or a half of a sliced banana to jazz it up.

Love how versatile this chia pudding is! It’s the perfect balance of healthy and indulgent, and I appreciate that it keeps me full with all the fiber and protein. Topping it with fresh berries and granola sounds like the ultimate treat. I’m definitely going to try making a big batch to have on hand for breakfast or a snack throughout the week.

This is so yummy! I use cashew milk and vegan protein powder. With berries and homemade granola it’s very filling. Thanks for the recipe, Lauren!

I have been a little hesitant to jump on the Chia Seed Pudding trend but honestly, this is delicious! I used coconut almond milk to add some more flavor. It satisfies my sweet tooth in a very healthy way and it helps me stay full longer. Seriously, if you are on the fence, just make it! Easy and delicious!

Yum! East, delicious, and healthy. Had it with frozen raspberries on top. Next time I will probably stir the protein powder in with the milk first so I don’t get clumps.
