MAKE yogurt chia pudding!

I make this yogurt chia pudding all the time, sometimes for breakfast, sometimes as a quick snack, and occasionally when I want something sweet after dinner. It’s just a few simple ingredients, but it always hits the spot. I use my base 3 ingredient chia pudding recipe and layer it on top of yogurt and top with berries or whatever toppings I have around, and it somehow feels like a little treat every time.

Happy Cooking!

Yogurt Chia Pudding Ingredients

Ingredients to make the recipe
  • Yogurt: Full-fat yogurt works best. Vanilla yogurt is perfect here, but any flavor works.
  • Sugar: I recommend cane sugar, but granulated sugar also works.
  • Chia pudding: Use this 3-ingredient chia pudding recipe. Make it the day before so it has time to set in the fridge.
  • Fresh fruit: I like blueberries and sliced strawberries macerated in sugar. Any fruit works well, like bananas, raspberries, and mango.

Recipe Variations

  • Add a crunch. Top with dried coconut flakes, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts, like almonds or pecans.
  • Increase the protein. Add a layer of peanut butter or almond butter, or stir your favorite protein powder into the yogurt.
  • Make it sweet. Drizzle maple syrup, honey, or agave on top.

Recipe Tips

  1. Make the chia pudding the day before. It needs a couple of hours to set, ideally overnight. Having the chia pudding ready makes it easier to assemble your chia seed yogurt parfait.
  2. Get the yogurt texture right. If your yogurt is thick (like Greek yogurt) and doesn’t mix well, loosen it with a splash of milk. If your yogurt is runny, stir in ½ teaspoon almond flour or coconut flour to thicken it up.

Serving Ideas

FAQs

How do I store yogurt chia pudding?

This yogurt chia pudding is best enjoyed as soon as you’ve made it, but it will keep well in the fridge covered for 2 to 3 days.

Can you make yogurt chia pudding ahead of time?

You can make the chia pudding and macerate the strawberries the day before.

How do you serve yogurt chia pudding?

Serve these chia seed yogurt parfaits in clear glasses or cups so you can see all the pretty layers. They’re great any time of day!

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, you can use frozen fruit for berry chia pudding. Just let it thaw ahead of time so it’s ready to eat when you assemble the yogurt parfaits.

Do I have to macerate the strawberries?

No, but I do recommend it. Soaking the strawberry slices in sugar draws out their natural juices and forms a syrup. If you don’t have time or are trying to cut back on sugar, the berry chia pudding recipe still tastes great without that step.
