Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
⅓ cup cold brew coffee
2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt or kosher salt (optional)
¼ cup chia seeds

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, cold brew, vanilla, maple syrup, and kosher salt. Whisk very well or use a handheld milk frother until it is creamy with small bubbles forming.
Add the chia seeds and stir with a whisk or fork. Let the mixture rest 10-15 minutes and give it another good stir. This helps prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Hint: It will thicken up quite a bit in the fridge! I prefer my chia pudding quite thick personally. If you prefer it thinner, add another splash of milk.

Notes

Expert Tips

Use a milk frother or whisk to make it extra creamy.
Don't skip the double stir. After whisking in the chia seeds, let it sit about 10-15 minutes at room temperature and whisk it very well again before refrigerating.
Patience is key! Give it at least 4 hours in the fridge for the chia seeds to plump up to their full potential. Make it the night before and portion it into individual containers for a ready-to-go breakfast.

Storage

Refrigerator - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
If you want to store it in individual jars, here are some options: Wide Mouth Mason Jar, Mason Jars with Bamboo Lids

Dietitian Tip

Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. They provide important nutrients like healthy fatty acids to support heart health, dietary fiber which can help support gut health and prevent blood sugar spikes, and plant-based protein. When soaked like in this easy chia pudding, they absorb the liquid and have a gel-like consistency. I like to serve this chia pudding with an extra scoop of Greek yogurt and fresh fruit or nuts on top!
