overnight chia pudding

"Getting bored of your usual breakfast? Switch up your routine of overnight oats or egg cups and try an overnight chia pudding instead! This incredibly easy chia seed recipe is versatile, so you really could add whatever toppings your heart desires.

This recipe calls for fresh mango, coconut chips, and chopped macadamia nuts, but you could really top it with anything! If you would rather some fresh berries or pomegranate seeds, try that instead. Maybe even some dark chocolate chips.

There are actually a lot of chia seed health benefits if you add them into your diet on a regular basis. Chia seeds are full of fiber, as well as omega-3s. There are 10 grams of fiber per ounce. This overnight chia pudding can actually help you to feel full and satisfied in the morning until your next meal at lunch. There's also a lot of water content in chia seeds, making it a great way to get that extra boost of hydration in the morning.

You can prep a few puddings in advance with this recipe, too. After letting the overnight chia pudding sit in the fridge while you sleep, you can either spoon out some pudding for guests—or jar some up for yourself! Split the recipe in half, and you have the perfect healthy breakfast for four days of your week.

Once you have some puddings divvied up for your week, they can last up to five days in the refrigerator before they go bad. Yes, chia seeds actually can go bad! Because they have an oil content in them, they can start to go rancid. If the seeds develop a bitter taste, they're no longer good.

Now, check out this easy chia pudding recipe you can meal-prep in advance!

Test Kitchen Tips: • Basil seeds are black, tear-shaped seeds that, like chia seeds, have a gelatinous outer layer when wet. Also called Sabja seeds, they are the seed of the sweet basil plant native to India. Basil seeds absorb and take on accompanying flavors and provide texture and body without adding oils or fats, making them a great addition to smoothies, sauces, and dips. They can be purchased from specialty and natural food stores as well from many online retailers• Basil seeds will re-hydrate in as little as 20 minutes. To enjoy the same day instead of prepping for an overnight dish, allow seeds to soak in coconut milk at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.

This is so yummy! I use cashew milk and vegan protein powder. With berries and homemade granola it’s very filling. Thanks for the recipe, Lauren!

I have been a little hesitant to jump on the Chia Seed Pudding trend but honestly, this is delicious! I used coconut almond milk to add some more flavor. It satisfies my sweet tooth in a very healthy way and it helps me stay full longer. Seriously, if you are on the fence, just make it! Easy and delicious!

Yum! East, delicious, and healthy. Had it with frozen raspberries on top. Next time I will probably stir the protein powder in with the milk first so I don’t get clumps.
