Lightly sweetened and creamy, this Overnight Chia Pudding is made with just a handful of ingredients (most of which you probably already have in your pantry). The great thing about this recipe is that it is so versatile- it can be made with almond butter or sunflower butter. And selecting your favorite berries makes this overnight pudding the way that you prefer it.

One of the best things about chia pudding is that it can be prepped and refrigerated for 5 days (or longer), making it the ideal grab-and-go breakfast or snack for busy weekdays.

How to Serve Chia Pudding:

While you can certainly enjoy chia pudding on its own, it is best topped with lots of fruit and texture! Our preference is fresh berries, sliced banana (you could also stir in mashed banana!), and toasted nuts or coconut flakes.

A little drizzle of additional maple syrup (or honey) just before serving is delicious! It can be enjoyed as a lighter breakfast or snack, and you can even pack it up into jars for hikes or outdoor adventures.

Important Note: Chia pudding should soak for at least 2 hours in order for the seeds to hydrate – however, I strongly prefer the texture and flavor of chia pudding that soaks for overnight (8 to 12 hours) in the fridge. The seeds are better hydrated and any additional flavorings are more pronounced. If you are serving chia pudding after a short soak (2 to 3 hours) reduce the banana milk to 1/2 cup total, otherwise these ratios will produce a very thin pudding.
