Chia Pudding Topping Ideas
- Fresh or frozen fruit - pro tip: if you're meal prepping, add the frozen fruit the night before and let the juices seep into the pudding
- Fruit jam - I used some chia smash jam, which is totally fruit sweetened
- Chocolate chips - a bit of chocolate in each bite is delightful
- Peanut butter or other nut butters - drizzle on top or stir them in the night before
- Nuts or granola - for some crunch
- Yogurt - this pudding is already super creamy, but yogurt would add extra creaminess
FAQ & Expert Tips
After blending, taste for sweetness. You can always stir in more sweetener with a spoon. Or give a quick taste, add sweetener, and blend again.
You can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to this chia pudding for extra protein - I love Naked Nutrition's Almond Powder. I recommend adding 2-4 tablespoons more milk, per serving of protein.
I use a ninja blender that comes with a blender cup, perfect for two servings of chia pudding!
Store chia pudding in airtight containers for up to 5 days.
I find that mason jars make ideal containers for chia pudding. They are a great serving-size and are easily portable if you're taking breakfast on the go
