A simple and nutritious Chia Yogurt pudding recipe combining Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, and natural sweeteners. This creamy, protein-rich make-ahead breakfast or snack is versatile and can be topped with fresh fruit, nuts, or granola for added texture and flavor.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop (1/4 cup) vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh fruit
  • Nuts
  • Granola

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. If you are using protein powder, add all these ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth to ensure the powder dissolves evenly.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly so they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The liquid will seem runny at this stage, but the chia seeds will absorb moisture as they chill.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into two individual serving containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight chilling is ideal. During this time, the chia seeds will swell and turn the mixture into a thick, pudding-like consistency. If the pudding becomes too thick, stir in a splash of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Serve: Top with your favorite fresh fruit, nut butter, or granola for added flavor and texture before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, coconut, or oat milk.
  • The protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and creaminess.
  • Make sure to stir the mixture well before refrigerating to prevent clumps of chia seeds.
  • If the pudding becomes too thick after chilling, add milk gradually to loosen it up.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is vegetarian and gluten free by default.
