This overnight chia pudding is an easy, make-ahead breakfast with a creamy, spoonable texture that sets perfectly in the fridge. Made with chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla, it sets overnight and tastes best topped with fresh berries.
2tablespoonhoney or other sweetenerplus for topping
½teaspoonvanilla extract
Fresh berries for topping
Instructions
Add the chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract to a bowl or jar and stir well to combine.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the chia pudding is thick and fully set.
Stir before serving, divide into individual containers, and top with fresh berries and extra honey if desired.
Notes
Stirring Matters: I always stir twice at the beginning to keep the texture smooth and evenly thick.Sweetness Adjustment: I prefer keeping it lightly sweet, then adding more honey on top when serving.Milk Choice: Almond milk keeps it light, while dairy milk makes it richer and creamier.Texture Fix: If the pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen it before serving.
