Chia Pudding

Vegan


This chia pudding has become a staple at my kitchen table—easy, versatile, and nourishing for me and the kids. I love that it’s packed with fiber, plant-based omega-3s, and can be batch prepped for several days. Perfect for busy mornings or a refreshing snack that actually supports hormone balance and gut health.


Ingredients

  • 9 heaping tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 3 cups non-dairy milk (make sure its unsweetened!)
  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • A few shakes of cinnamon (optional)

Steps

  1. Add chia seeds and flaxseed meal to a bowl or container.
  2. Pour in the milk and add sweetener + cinnamon if using.
  3. Stir really well—make sure there are no clumps!
  4. Cover and pop in the fridge overnight (or for at least 3–4 hours).
  5. Stir again before serving and enjoy with your favorite toppings.

Wellness Notes

  • Chia seeds: Packed with omega-3s, fiber, and hormone-supportive nutrients—especially helpful for acne and digestion.
  • Flaxseed meal: Contains lignans that can help balance estrogen and support metabolism.
  • Plant-based milk: Gentler on the gut and less inflammatory than cow’s milk.
  • Agave: A low-glycemic sweetener that’s better than refined sugar in moderation. (Rotate with maple syrup, date syrup, or honey if not strictly vegan.)
  • Makes ~6 servings — perfect for sharing with toddlers or keeping breakfast ready for 3–4 days!
