Yogurt Chia Pudding

Yogurt chia pudding is one of my favorite easy breakfasts. It's like a yogurt bowl... but even better. The chia seeds bloom in the yogurt adding a little more texture and fiber to a yogurt bowl. It's thick, delicious, and perfect topped with fresh berries.

And you can absolutely meal prep this ahead of time for breakfast! Just make the night before and it's ready to be topped in the morning. You can even double, triple, or quadruple the recipe to batch it to enjoy all week.

Ingredients

• Yogurt - I prefer plain Greek yogurt, but you can use coconut yogurt, Icelandic yogurt, vanilla yogurt, etc.
• Chia seeds - This is the key ingredient to the yogurt chia pudding!
• Milk - You can use dairy milk or your favorite non-dairy milk like oat, almond, soy, coconut, etc.
• Honey - This is optional, but I usually use unsweetened yogurt, so I like to add a drizzle of honey to give the chia pudding a bit of sweetness. You could also use maple syrup.
• Berries - I typically use whatever is in season or what I can find at my regular grocery store.

What to know before making yogurt chia pudding

Let's talk about thickness of yogurt and chia pudding. Yogurt can be thick and some are thinner. Adding the chia seeds will thicken the yogurt slightly. If you're using a thinner yogurt, you may not want to add milk.

However, if you're using a really thick Greek yogurt, I recommend adding milk to help thin out the mixture a bit (unless you like your chia pudding really thick). Also, if you prefer a thinner chia pudding, you'll want to add more milk.

Just know that your final chia pudding will be a little thicker than the yogurt you started with.
