Print Recipe

A quick and easy chia seed pudding recipe with mixed berries, perfect for a healthy and nourishing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy milk)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (use agave for vegan option)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (75 g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk in a mixing bowl or jar.
  2. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Whisk or stir vigorously for about 1 minute to prevent clumps and evenly suspend the chia seeds.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for a thicker pudding.
  5. After chilling, stir the pudding. If too thick, add a splash of milk and mix again; if too runny, chill longer or add more chia seeds.
  6. Fold in ½ cup of mixed berries and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest just before serving, or layer berries on top.
  7. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with extra berries, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or yogurt.

Notes

For faster setting, soak chia seeds in warm milk for 15 minutes with occasional stirring, but texture will be less silky. Avoid shaking the jar vigorously after chilling to maintain texture. Use cold milk to prevent clumping. Wash and dry berries well; thaw frozen berries slightly before use. Layer berries just before serving to keep pudding fresh and visually appealing.
