Chia Pudding with Yogurt – Creamy Breakfast Bowl + No-Cook Recipe to Kickstart Your Day

on

Chia Pudding with Yogurt is one of those effortlessly delicious recipes that transforms simple pantry staples into a creamy, nourishing breakfast. Made with nutrient-packed chia seeds, protein-rich Greek yogurt, and naturally sweet honey, this no-cook treat delivers a silky, pudding-like texture that feels both indulgent and wholesome. It’s perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or a refreshing snack—especially when topped with vibrant berries that add a burst of color and flavor.

Chia-based dishes have roots across Central and South America, where chia seeds have been valued for centuries as an energy-boosting superfood. Today, chia pudding has become a global favorite thanks to its versatility and health benefits—it’s rich in fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics when paired with yogurt. What makes this version special is the creamy balance between the bloomed chia seeds and tangy Greek yogurt, creating a naturally thick and satisfying texture. Frozen strawberries (or any berries you have on hand) melt beautifully into the pudding, infusing it with a sweet, jammy finish. This recipe is also a dream for meal-preppers: it takes minutes to mix, stores well for days, and tastes even better after a night in the fridge.

Key Ingredients & Their Roles

• Chia seeds → Absorb liquid to create a thick, pudding-like texture while adding fibre and omega-3s.
• Milk → Helps soften and hydrate the chia seeds, giving the pudding a smooth and spoonable consistency.
• Greek yogurt → Adds creaminess, tangy flavour, and a protein boost for a more satisfying breakfast.
• Honey → Naturally sweetens the pudding without overpowering the delicate flavours.
• Berries (fresh or frozen) → Add natural sweetness, bright colour, antioxidants, and a fresh-fruity finish.  


Chia Pudding with Yogurt Recipe Details

πŸ“Œ Prep Time: 5 minutes |Cook Time: 0 minutes (no-cook) |Total Time: 2 hours (includes chilling) |Cuisine Type: Modern / Healthy | Calories (Estimate): ~250–300 per serving |Serving Size: 1 serving

πŸ“ Ingredients 

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) milk
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt 
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3–4 strawberries (fresh or frozen), chopped, or any berries of choice

πŸ‘¨‍🍳 Instructions 

  1. Prepare your container
    • Use a small glass cup, jar, or airtight container. This helps the chia pudding set evenly and makes storage easy.
  2. Add chia seeds and milk
    • Pour 2 tbsp chia seeds into the container.
    • Add ¼ cup (60 ml) milk and stir well to coat all the seeds.
  3. Mix in Greek yogurt and honey

    • Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined. Make sure there are no clumps of chia seeds.
  4. Add berries
    • Top with chopped strawberries or your favourite berries. 


    • If using frozen berries, no need to thaw—they will naturally soften as the pudding chills. 
  5. Cover and chill
    • Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid. 

    • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best texture. 
  6. Serve and enjoy
    • Once set, stir gently and enjoy as-is, or add more fruit, nuts, or granola on top.

No cooking required—just chill and eat!
