If you’re looking for something different for breakfast or a snack, give chia seed pudding a try! These little seeds pack a lot of fiber, protein and omega-3’s in a tiny little package. As with any seed or nut on Whole30, don’t go crazy, you’ll want to make sure you’re eating these in limited quantities. That’s why making these little mason jar sizes are perfect for a grab and go option with portion built in.

If you haven’t had chia seed pudding before, I’m told the consistency is similar to a cottage cheese or tapioca pudding. I can’t speak from experience as I’ve never had either. But I can say it’s delicious!

How to make chia seed pudding

Chia seed pudding is so simple to make! Each of these puddings was made with 3 tbsp of chia seeds and ¾ cup of milk or creamer. I used the little mason jars but you can make this in any container you have. You can also easily double, or triple the recipe if you’d like. Just put in the chia seeds, milk of choice and stir or shake it up! Place it in the fridge overnight and voila, you’re done!

French Vanilla

Let’s start with my new favorite of the 3, french vanilla. This was made with nutpods dairy free, unsweetened, Whole30 approved french vanilla creamer. Side note, if you’re missing cream in your coffee, the nutpods creamers are a great alternative! The french vanilla flavor and heavier cream make this pudding dreamy. Topped with berries and sliced almonds and this one is to die for!

Almond Butter & Cinnamon

My second favorite would be the almond butter and cinnamon. It’s how I’ve always made my chia seed pudding until I discovered the nutpod creamer option. Again, just 3 tbsp of chia seeds and for this one I used Califia Farms unsweetened almond milk. I added in some almond butter and a couple dashes of cinnamon and shook it up. Packs some great flavor and of course some extra protein from the almond butter. My favorite way to eat this one is with an apple diced up and mixed in. Like a cold apple pie pudding.

Plain

For those less adventurous, or perhaps more adventurous with your toppings, you can go for the plain chia seed pudding. This is mixed with Califia Farms unsweetened almond milk, and that’s it! For this one you can top with anything from berries, to nuts, to apples, or bananas; endless options with a plain base!

I hope you enjoy adding this into your rotation to mix up your breakfasts or snacks! Leave me a comment and let me know how you made it yours!
