I’ve been stirring in chia seeds into my yogurt as part of my evening meal for like 3 or 4 days now but didn’t think of actually posting it as a recipe.
It just seemed too simple a concept.
But then I realized the beauty (and usefulness) of it: Its like an on-the-whim quick chia pudding!
The origin:
This on-the-spot-ness is actually how I created this recipe to begin with. I forgot to make my chia pudding in the morning, and then got super annoyed when it was time to eat and I had nothing.
But when I saw that pack of yogurt in my fridge, inspiration struck.
What’s so good about this Chia Seed Yogurt Pudding?
No need to plan ahead and whisk those seeds in milk hours before.
This is a no-wait chia pudding!
Its nicely sweet, a great dessert recipe too.
Use a coconut or almond based yogurt, and this is great Paleo and Vegan breakfast bowl!
How to make this Chia Pudding?
Just whisk the chia, yogurt, vanilla and sweetener, let it rest a bit, and thin it out a little before digging in.
I used almond milk, but any others will work just fine.
Toppings!
Also, in case you’re looking for topping ideas, sliced almonds, chopped chocolate from Lily’s Sweets, and a mini cake (Smartcake) from my all-time my all-time favorite: Smart Baking Company.
Those things are sugar-free, gluten-free, keto, super low calorie and what not?!

I’m actually so glad I chanced upon this. I’ll still try to make my CP’s in advance, but at least now I have a fall-back!
