Overnight Triple Berry Chia Seed Pudding

I’ve recently had a very big shift in my work schedule and I am now commuting into Seattle 4-5 days per week. I need easy and healthy grab and go options for breakfast since I am leaving the house before sunrise. This overnight chia seed pudding has become my new morning staple and I love it so much I wanted to share it with all of you. 

The below recipe makes four 8 oz. servings and I make them as individual servings in low 14 oz. glass bowls from IKEA so I can add a lot of fresh fruit on top with a drizzle of agave and still put the lid on. 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup milk (you can use any type of milk you like, including nut based)
• 1 5.3 oz. small container of plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla
• Pinch of kosher salt
• Zest of a lemon, lime, grapefruit or orange – whichever you prefer – this is optional but it adds a lot of flavor!
• Fresh fruit of your choice – I like to make a triple berry with raspberries, blackberries & blueberries. I’ll add mango and fresh mint too! You can use whatever you like most and you don’t even have to add fresh fruit if you want to eat it plain.
• Agave syrup – optional

Step One: In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup add the milk and Greek yogurt, whisk well to combine the yogurt into the milk.

Step Two: Add the honey, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of kosher salt and whisk again. 

Step Three: Zest the citrus of your choice into the bowl and whisk one final time. Set aside.

Step Four: Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into each glass bowl, this will equal 1/2 cup of chia seeds. Pour 1/2 cup of the milk mixture to each bowl and stir to combine. Put the lids on each bowl, I use these from IKEA.

Step Five: Put all of the chia seed puddings in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours to let them set. 

Step Six: Clean all of your berries and put them in a large glass Tupperware. Once the chia pudding is set you can add the berries on top, drizzle with agave (optional but delicious)! 

Enjoy!
