Chia pudding: easy make-ahead recipes

For chia pudding, stir about 3 tbsp chia seeds into 200 ml milk, plant milk or yoghurt and leave it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight. Give it another stir after 10 minutes so it sets without lumps. Here you’ll find versions with fruit, coconut, matcha and protein – for breakfast and dessert.

Frequently asked questions

How long does chia pudding keep in the fridge?

Usually up to 3 days, well covered. Add fresh fruit and anything crunchy just before eating.

Why won’t my chia pudding set?

Usually there are too few chia seeds or it hasn’t soaked long enough. Stir again after 10 minutes and leave it in the fridge for longer; with thin plant milks, use a little more chia.
