A quick, easy, and healthy chia pudding bowl perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special morning, featuring creamy texture, natural sweetness, and fresh berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) almond milk, unsweetened or lightly sweetened (or any plant-based milk)
  • ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla-flavored
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup raspberries, fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 1 small banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or pistachios)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (45 g) of chia seeds and 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk. Whisk well to break up any clumps and distribute seeds evenly.
  2. Stir in ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) maple syrup or honey, ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) rose water if using. Mix thoroughly until smooth and slightly runny.
  3. Cover the bowl or transfer mixture to jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and pudding to thicken.
  4. While pudding chills, slice ½ cup (75 g) strawberries, 1 small banana, and prepare ½ cup (60 g) raspberries.
  5. Once pudding is set, stir well and divide into serving bowls or jars. Top with sliced strawberries, banana, raspberries, coconut flakes, and chopped nuts.
  6. Serve immediately or store refrigerated for up to 2 days. Add nuts and fresh fruit just before serving to maintain crunch.

Notes

Whisk well at the start to prevent clumps. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Adjust sweetness after chilling. Add fresh fruit just before serving to keep texture. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk; if too thin, add more chia seeds and chill longer.
