THE PERFECT CHIA PUDDING BASE
How to make the perfect Chia pudding base that’s perfect for breakfast or a nice, delicious, balance snack! The key to having an amazing bowl of Chia Pudding is having the perfect base!
I love making Chia Pudding because my mornings are usually pretty busy since I work at 6am, it’s something easy I can make the night before, let it set in the fridge, and then just grab and go in the morning! All you need to make chia pudding are chia seeds, a liquid (usually some kind of milk), and collagen powder (optional)! Great to add into your meal prepping routine!
Chia pudding is a great breakfast option because it suuuuuuuuper healthy! My chia pudding has high protein, omega-3’s, full of fiber, and helps keep you full and satisfied until your next meal! Also an amazing balanced snack if you need a little pick me up throughout the day!
Alright! Let’s get to it!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THE PERFECT CHIA PUDDING BASE
CHIA SEEDS: I use Trader Joe’s organic chia seed.
LIQUID: I used Trader Joe’s unsweetened almond beverage. I suggest using some kind of milk or non-dairy milk option for best results! It’s creamier and creates a better texture when setting your chia pudding!
COLLAGEN POWDER (OPTIONAL): I use Great Lakes collagen powder. You can find it at Trader Joe’s or Amazon! Using collagen powder will add some protein and all the amazing benefits of collagen!
LIQUID STEVIA: I use Trader Joe’s liquid stevia to add a little sweetness!
INGREDIENTS FOR THE PERFECT CHIA PUDDING BASE
- 3 tbs chia seeds
- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 dropper liquid stevia
- 1-2 scoops Collagen powder
HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT CHIA PUDDING BASE
- Grab a container or jar with a a lid since you’re going to be putting it in the fridge to set.

I’ve been using my hand held milk frothier to blend everything up well and to ensure the chia seeds don’t all settle at the bottom of the container!
