Chia Pudding made with Greek yogurt is one of those recipes I turn to again and again! It has a wonderful, cool, and creamy texture with the right amount of sweetness.

Chia pudding is not only delicious, but it’s simple to make, and it keeps in the fridge for several days. I love to meal prep this on Sunday and portion it into individual servings to enjoy throughout the week.

Step 1: In a medium bowl add yogurt, milk, and maple syrup. Whisk to combine.

Step 2 and 3: Next, add in the chia seeds. Whisk to combine. Cover the bowl, place it in the fridge, and allow it to sit for at least 2-4 hours. (you may mix it about 30 minutes in). Feel free to make it at night and leave it in the fridge overnight as well.

Next, Step 4: To prepare the raspberry layer, place the fresh raspberries in a bowl. Add the honey or maple syrup.

Step 5: Using a fork, mash the raspberries until you get a puree-like texture.

For Step 6: Add vanilla if using and mix again.

You will most likely start this step after the chia pudding is set and ready to serve, or you can make it ahead, place it in a jar, and store it in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the chia pudding.

Steps 7 and 8: Remove the chia pudding from the fridge and divide it into 4 individual jars. To serve, top the chia pudding with the raspberry puree. Enjoy and store the remainder in the fridge.

Tips from my kitchen

Frozen raspberries: You can use frozen fruit to make this, just be sure to let it thaw before mashing.
Consistency: Feel free to add a bit more milk, if you’d like the pudding to be thinner. If you want it thicker, you can always add more yogurt.
Overnight is best: You can eat the chia pudding after it sits in the fridge for at least 2 hours. However, it will be more thick and pudding-like if you let it chill in the refrigerator overnight.
Blend it: If you make this chia pudding and don’t like the texture of the chia seeds, you can blend the pudding to make it completely smooth.

Variations

There are many ways you can change up this recipe and make it your own. Here are some options:

Fruit: This is great with the raspberry topping, but you could use strawberries, blueberries, cherries, or another favorite fruit instead.
Nuts: Just before eating, add a sprinkle of lightly salted sliced almonds, chopped pecans, or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
Granola: Add some granola for more texture and a nice contrast to the creamy pudding.
Nut butter: A drizzle of almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter would add even more protein, healthy fats, and flavor.
Add more protein: Want to add in some more protein, feel free to mix in your favorite protein powder.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use water instead of milk?

Yes. If you do not have any milk on hand you can use water. You simply need to thin out the yogurt a bit to have a loose consistency.

How can I make it vegan?

You can make this chia pudding vegan by using dairy-free yogurt and milk. Then, I would use maple syrup or agave and not honey.

Can I use frozen berries?

Any fresh or frozen berries will work. If you have frozen raspberries they will work just fine. Just thaw them beforehand.

How can I store chia pudding?

Chia pudding will last up to 3-4 days. Store them in airtight containers or sealable jars. I do not recommend freezing.
