A simple, nourishing chia pudding bowl with almond milk, banana, and crunchy granola, perfect for a healthy and comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • ½ cup (about 50g) granola
  • Fresh strawberries or raspberries (optional, a handful)
  • Chopped nuts (optional, almonds or walnuts)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the chia pudding base: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to break up any clumps until the mixture looks milky with chia seeds evenly dispersed.
  2. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and form a pudding-like consistency. Stir in a splash of almond milk if too thick in the morning.
  3. Prepare toppings: Slice the banana and, if using, wash and slice fresh berries. Measure granola and chop nuts if desired.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Stir the pudding to make it creamy. Spoon into serving bowls or jars. Layer banana slices on top, sprinkle granola, and add optional toppings like berries, nuts, or Greek yogurt.
  5. Enjoy immediately or store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.

Notes

Soak chia seeds overnight for best texture. Stir well to avoid clumps. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Can substitute almond milk with oat or coconut milk. Use maple syrup for vegan option. Adjust sweetness to taste.
