A chia pudding is a healthy breakfast pudding made of overnight soaked chia seed into milk. Chia puddings are naturally:
- Getreidefrei
- Paleo-freundlich
- Vegan freundlich
- Keto low-carb approved
- Glutenfrei
Since chia seeds are superfoods with a very high amount of fiber, protein, and healthy fat, a chia seed pudding is a healthy breakfast to start the day.
Zutaten und Substitutionen
All you need to make this plain chia pudding are:
- Chia Seeds – you can buy chia seeds in two different colors: white chia seeds or black chia seeds. There’s no nutritional difference between both seeds, and you can interchangeably use one or the other in chia seed recipes. Some people prefer white chia seeds because of their bland color.
- Nichtmilch – feel free to use any plant-based milk you love like almond milk, vanilla almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk to create different chia pudding flavors and textures.
- Süßstoff – you can add an unrefined liquid sweetener like maple syrup, my favorite option for best flavor, or a sugar-free sweetener to make a keto chia pudding.
How To Make 3-Ingredient Chia Pudding
It’s very easy to make a chia pudding recipe using only 3 basic ingredients. Let me share how you can make this easy chia pudding recipe.
- First, select a large wide bowl. Avoid using a tall narrow jar, or the seed forms lumps.
- In the mixing bowl, add the chia seed, milk, and sweetener. Stir or whisk vigorously to evenly combine seeds to liquid.
- Film the top of the bowl with plastic wrap or a silicone lid. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove from the fridge, remove the lid and stir again to evenly distribute the seeds in the milk.
- The seeds should have swollen by now, but some may migrate to the bottom of the bowl. That’s why I recommend stirring ingredients two times. This prevents the formation of a layer of chia seeds at the bottom of the bowl.
- Film the bowl again with a piece of wrap and set it aside in the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours.
- During this time, the chia seeds absorb the liquid and form a sticky, creamy pudding.


The Perfect Chia Pudding Ratio
The ratio to make a creamy, simple chia pudding with 3 ingredients is always 3 tablespoons of chia per cup of liquid.
Then, if you add any other ingredient high in protein or fiber, the liquid ratio must be increased to avoid a too dense pudding.
Chia Seed Pudding Toppings
This is the most simple chia pudding recipe, plain with no extra flavor. To make this breakfast tastier, serve half of the batch with some toppings below:
- Beeren – raspberries, strawberries, blueberries.
- Erdnussbutter
- Mandelbutter
- A Drizzle of extra sweetener – like maple syrup or coconut nectar.
- Gehackte Nüsse – peanuts, almond, pistachios.
- Saat – hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds.

Flavors
You can create different pudding flavors using this 3-ingredient chia seeds pudding recipe by adding some of the ingredients below. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of:
- Chocolate Chips – any kind of chocolate chip works
- Protein Pulver – this changes the chia pudding texture. It means the recipe will require more milk as well because protein powder absorbs liquids and make the pudding ultra thick.
- Zerdrückte Bananen or applesauce.
- Kokosraspeln
- Getrocknete Früchte – cranberries, dried raisins, finely chopped apricot.
Aufbewahrungshinweise
Store the leftover chia pudding in sealed glass mason jars, as seen in the pictures.
