How To Make Chia Pudding

how to make chia pudding

Hi Peeps! Yes, I’m still alive and still healthy, so don’t fret. Honestly, I’m just like you all, working hard, raising kids, finding time and space for playtime, and overall living a full happy life. I want you to know that I’m never going to just go away or stop blogging, so please keep checking in, or follow me on Instagram. I’m on Insta all the time posting pics or sharing stories. I love using Instagram stories, as it’s a super easy way to post a quick video or picture on the go and to just say “hi.”

I’m posting this chia pudding because I’ve sharing it on my Insta stories and eating it non-stop, so enough readers asked me for the recipe, so I’m posting it for you all today! It’s my post work travel cleansing breakfast. I feel alive after eating this breakfast and don’t feel weighed down in the least. I also have great energy for my workouts.

This chia pudding is basically a “grab-an-go” breakfast which is perfect for those busy mornings!  It’s ULTRA EASY to make, (takes just 5 minutes) and is ready to go in the morning! All you have to do in the morning is open your refrigerator, grab the pudding, twist off the lid, add a few favorite ingredients, and dig in!  How easy is that?

Chia seeds are a powerhouse!  They are an excellent source of anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids. They’re high in fiber and contain more protein than most plant foods. They also contain more calcium than milk. Say what!?

I typically add my favorite ingredients (berries, un-sweetened coconut, raw cacao nibs) to the chia pudding right before I’m going to eat it, but if you want to have it as a grab-and-go, then you can add everything to the thickened chia before you put in the fridge.

Below are two more of my favorite grab-and-go breakfasts!  I mean life is about variety, right?

Please share and let me know what you’re topping your chia pudding with.  Write me below or tag me in your Instagram photos and I’ll share on my story.  Have an awesome week!

With love Jackie
