This chia pudding will be a welcome addition to your breakfast rotation. Prepare the fruity pudding the night before to have a jump-start on your day the next morning.
This recipe has been in my “draft” file since last summer. I just finished moving (but not unpacking) and I’m catching up with some drafts that need to be posted. Hard to cook when many things are in boxes!
Raspberry and Greek Yogurt Chia Pudding
- 1 cup raspberries, blackberries or diced mango
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or a milk of your choice (I found that thicker milks such as whole or coconut work best towards thickening in this recipe)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1 tbsp. Michigan maple syrup
- 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used Fage 2%)
- raspberries to garnish – I also added some blueberries since I had them
- granola of your choice to garnish for a liittle crunch (I used Almond Agave Granola which I couldn’t stop snacking on)
Puree 1 cup of fruit and milk in a blender; I used my Vitamix, a high speed blender. Pour into a container, mix in the chia seeds, syrup and vanilla. Let sit on the counter, covered and after 10 minutes stir to be sure the seeds are distributed throughout the pudding. Let stand another 20 minutes before refrigerating overnigiht; I stirred it again.
To serve: Add a layer of pudding to each glass, then a layer of yogurt, followed by another layer of pudding. Garnish with fresh fruit and granola.
Note: A few pointers to make sure this pudding thickens.
- make sure your seeds are not old
- you could add more chia seeds and let it sit longer
- use a thick milk such as whole or coconut
- don’t add too much fruit – the raspberries are 85% water so keep that in mind
- stir well to distribute all the seeds thoroughly

A sweet, healthy treat – thanks Judy.
You’re welcome Bernadette – I like to add chia seeds when I can 🙂
What a perfect dessert. I think I could eat it for breakfast. 😜🍃🫐
I loved it for breakfast or just a nice pick-me-up when the hunger pains hit around 3:00 pm. 🙂
I’ve tried chia but wasn’t sold on the texture. But I’m sure that it’s much better with these fresh additions. 🙂
I had to work with the seeds to get the right consistency. It’s such a healthy addition to food that I try to use it different ways 🙂 That granola mix I used would make anything taste good.
I need to give it another try. 🙂
this sounds great apart from the chia seeds. i just can’t do those:) Too glutinous for me.
Chia seeds offer a number of health benefits so I try to put some in dishes like this. I worked on finding the right balance for me 🙂
Looks so delicious & wholesome!
It is a healthy breakfast/snack/dessert with many important benefits such as digestion, cardiovascular, blood sugar, rich in protein, full of antioxidants 🙂
I’ve never played with chia seeds, and they’re so intriguing! Thanks!
I don’t use them often enough as they do have a lot of healthy benefits. It is amazing how they “swell” up when in contact with a liquid 🙂
