Easy Chia Seed Pudding – Breakfast Meal Prep
You may already know how easy chia seed pudding can be, but I just figured out a way to make it even easier! Make vanilla, berry, peanut butter, and chocolate chia pudding in minutes and store them in little mason jars for grab and go breakfasts and snacks for the whole week!
You can simply stir chia seeds into any flavored milk of your choice too. However, this gives it a tapioca pudding texture that some people don’t like. The seeds also clump up more and it takes a few hours to absorb the milk and become pudding.

2 tbsp chia seeds
1-2 tsp sweetener of choice like sugar, coconut sugar, agave nectar, or maple syrup
For vanilla pudding:
1 tsp vanilla extract

3 tbsp berries or any fruit of choice fresh or frozen
For peanut butter pudding:
1-2 tbsp peanut butter
For chocolate peanut butter pudding:
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp extra sweetener
Instructions
To make 1 chia pudding:
Add the milk, chia seeds, sweetener and flavor of choice to a blender and mix for about 20 seconds.
Let it sit for about 3-5 minutes and then come back and blend again for another 20 seconds.
Pour into small glass jars and seal with a lid and keep in the fridge until ready to eat. (up to 5 days).
To make a large batch:
Triple or quadruple recipe for 1 flavor and make the same as you would a single pudding. Then pour into 3-4 small cups and store.
Rinse out the blender between each flavor and repeat until you have 12 cups of chia seed pudding ready to grab and go.
Recipe Notes
The amount of sweetener needed will depend on your taste and the sweetness of the plant based milk that you use.
You may want to start with no sweetener and then taste the pudding and add sweetener at the end.
If you want pudding with whole chia seeds:
Blend all of the ingredients except for the chia and then add the chia seeds at the end and stir.
Then stir again 5 minutes later and then again 15 minutes after that.
Store in the fridge for 3-4 hours before eating.
