Chia Seed Pudding - Vegan recipe hero image

Chia seed pudding holds a special place in my heart because it’s so easy to whip up and makes for a deliciously satisfying breakfast.

I remember the first time I tried it at a cozy café, and I was amazed at how simple yet satisfying it was.

Now, I enjoy making it at home, experimenting with different plant milks and toppings, and sharing it with friends.

It’s a great way to start the day with a little joy and nourishment!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Chia seeds are fantastic for their omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. If you don’t have almond almond milk, feel free to use oat almond milk, coconut almond milk, or any plant-based almond milk you love. The sweetness of the pudding can be adjusted with more or less maple syrup, or you can skip it altogether if you're feeling extra health-conscious!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar; it looks pretty and stays fresh for days.
  • Feel free to get creative with toppings! Sometimes I sprinkle on some cinnamon or a dollop of nut butter for extra flavor.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I'll throw in a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.
  • You can swap out the maple syrup for agave nectar or even mashed banana for a different sweetener.

Storage & Freezing

Store your chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge. It keeps well for about 5 days, and you can enjoy it cold or bring it to room temperature before eating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does chia pudding last in the fridge?

Chia pudding stays fresh in the fridge for about 5 days. Just give it a good stir before serving, as it may thicken up.

Can I make chia pudding overnight?

Absolutely! In fact, letting it sit overnight allows the flavors to really develop. Just mix everything together before bed and wake up to a ready-to-eat breakfast!
