Description
This Vegan Chia Pudding is made rich and creamy with the perfect ratio of chia seeds and vegan Greek-style yogurt. It’s filled with healthy fats, plant-based protein, and dietary fiber. Great option for meal prep or healthy breakfasts on the go.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup vegan Greek-style yogurt
- ¾ cup non-dairy milk
- 3–4 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Equipment
- Small jar or bowl with a tight-fitting lid
- Whisk or fork
Instructions
- Mix ingredients. In a small jar, combine the chia seeds, vegan Greek-style yogurt, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Give it a good stir until well combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover the pudding and refrigerate. This delicious chia pudding will be ready to eat after about 1 hour, but it will be much more thick, creamy, and flavorful if allowed to thicken overnight.
- Serve. Once thickened, stir again to make sure everything is evenly combined. Serve while chilled with fresh fruit, or as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Sweetener: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your liking. If using a regular (not Greek-style) yogurt, omit the maple syrup.
- Thinning out pudding: Stir in additional splashes of non-dairy milk until the pudding has thinned to your desired consistency. Depending on how thin you like your pudding, you may want to add additional sweetener.
- Storage: This chia pudding will last for up to 5 days when refrigerated in an airtight glass jar.
- Protein powder: We haven’t personally tested this recipe with the addition of protein powder, but it should work with additional liquid to compensate for the additional dry ingredients.
- Smooth pudding: If you prefer the texture of a velvety smooth pudding, blend the ingredients in a high-speed blender before transferring to a jar and refrigerating until thickened.
- Prep Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
