Print Recipe

A quick and easy sugar-free chia pudding topped with fresh berries, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Creamy, naturally sweetened, and packed with nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (about 75 grams) fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (about 45 grams) of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and, if using, 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey.
  3. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
  4. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any settling seeds.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into serving jars or bowls. Cover with lids or plastic wrap.
  6. Place the containers in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to thicken.
  7. Just before serving, rinse ½ cup (about 75 grams) of fresh berries and gently pat dry.
  8. Zest half a teaspoon of lemon over the berries for extra flavor.
  9. Spoon the fresh berries on top of the chilled pudding. Optionally, add a sprinkle of nuts or a dash of cinnamon.

Notes

Whisk the mixture twice to prevent clumps and achieve a smooth texture. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk. For a creamier texture, blend half the pudding base before chilling. Use fresh, firm berries to avoid watery toppings. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
