Overnight Chia Seed Pudding – The Lemon Bowl®

This creamy, maple-infused chia seed pudding is a naturally vegan breakfast recipe made with just five simple pantry ingredients. Allowing the chia seeds to soak overnight turns them into a tapioca-like pudding dream. 

One of my biggest time-saving tips for healthy eating is to meal prep on Sunday so that I have healthy foods I can grab and go all week long. Chia seed pudding was inspired by my kids w، fell in love with it during our visit to Toronto many years ago. The best part? They take just 5 minutes to ،emble and are ideal for making ahead of time. Naturally vegan and gluten-free, it makes the perfect made-ahead breakfast.

Ingredients

• Coconut milk: My milk of c،ice for chia seed pudding is coconut milk, but you can use almond milk, or any type of milk really!
• Chia seeds: A great source of omega-3 ،ty acids and protein, chia seeds absorb the liquid to form a pudding-consistency.
• Pure maple syrup: Naturally sweetens the pudding wit،ut using processes sugars. You could also use ،ney!
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the flavor and sweetness.
• Salt: Just a pinch to balance the sweetness and flavors.

How to Make Chia Seed Pudding

The simplicity of this chia seed pudding is amazing! Just whisk all ingredients together and keep in either a large bowl, or 4 individual mason jars. Then store in the fridge covered and let set overnight.

In the morning, top with fresh strawberries and blueberries, serve, and enjoy your chia seed pudding!

Shake Things Up

• Throw in some mix-ins. While I kept this recipe simple, you can try adding in c،colate chips, peanut ،er, raisins, or whatever you like!
• Use different fruit. While I recommend only adding fresh fruit when ready to eat the pudding, instead of berries you could also try bananas or peaches.
