3 Ingredient Chia Pudding

October 27, 2015 by Emma

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I am a terrible ‘breakfast person’. First thing’s first in the morning – I make my coffee…then I just sort of forget about the rest. Especially now with giving Eleanor her breakfast, getting her dressed and ready for the day…then all of a sudden it’s 10 o’clock and I’ve had no breakfast. Bad, I know. I know.

So in an effort to get a quick, easy, delicious and healthy breakfast into me I’ve been making little chia puddings, which sit in my fridge overnight and do their thing – pop some berries and honey or nuts on top in the morning and tuck in!

3 Ingredient Chia Pudding

Ingredients
6 tablespoons of white chia seeds
2 cups of milk (I use coconut or regular cows milk, you can also use soy or almond or whatever you like!)
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped

Method
Mix together all three ingredients in a bowl. Pour into jars or glasses, leave about a quarter of the space for expansion of the chia seeds overnight. Leave in the fridge for about 6 hours or overnight. Top with berries, other fruit, nuts (I use slivered almonds), dessicated coconut and drizzle with honey for extra sweetness.

I am loving the fact that breakfast is already waiting for me in the fridge when I get up, it’s just that one less thing to think about. Have you read the theories on successful people making less decisions? Think Bill Gates eating the same thing for lunch every day of his life, Steve Jobs always wearing his black turtle neck sweaters. I know it seems soul destroying and overtly yawn-worthy for some spontaneous people, but I think there’s some merit to it! It doesn’t have to be anything big, just that one little thing (like breakfast) which can set you up for a productive and motivated day. And with little chubby fingers trying to type right now, ‘helping’ Mummy, I’m all for productive and motivated days! Work smarter, not harder. Or something.

    Do these need to be covered overnight? Going to give a go!, I always thought they would be harder!

      I generally put the lid on the jar so I guess yes? I wouldn’t worry too much if it wasn’t though, if you made it in a glass or something. Good luck!

    That reminds me, I have chia seeds in the pantry that need used. I used to do one made with yoghurt and oats in it.
