Easy Chia Pudding with Yogurt (How to Make it Creamy)
This Chia Pudding with Yogurt is creamy, decadent, and a great meal prep! Make a big batch and add your favorite toppings for a healthy breakfast or mid-day snack!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- pinch sea salt or kosher salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cup of milk, cup of yogurt, vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon, 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. Add your favorite toppings!
- Hint: It will thicken up quite a bit in the fridge and I prefer my chia pudding quite thick personally! If you prefer it thinner, wait to add another splash of milk after the 4 hours if needed.
Notes
Expert Tips
- Use a milk frother to combine the milk/yogurt mixture 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.
- Refrigerator - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
