Sugar-Free Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding
Slim Waist Morning Bowl
This Sugar-Free Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding is a simple, nourishing way to start your day without added sugars. Creamy, lightly sweet, and packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, it keeps you full for hours while supporting digestion and steady energy. Chia seeds absorb liquid overnight, creating a pudding-like texture that feels indulgent but is incredibly healthy. This recipe is perfect for weight management, gut health, and busy mornings since it can be prepared ahead of time.
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk, oat milk, or dairy milk)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons mashed ripe banana or sugar-free sweetener to taste (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Sliced almonds or walnuts
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
- Chia seeds or flaxseeds
- Plain Greek yogurt (for extra protein)
Instructions
- Mix the Base
In a medium bowl or jar, add chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger (if using), sea salt, and mashed banana or sugar-free sweetener. Stir well for 1–2 minutes to evenly distribute the chia seeds and prevent clumping. - Rest and Stir Again
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then stir again. This second stir is important—it helps the chia seeds absorb the liquid evenly and creates a smooth, creamy texture. - Chill Overnight
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will swell and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency. - Check Consistency
In the morning, give the pudding a good stir. If it feels too thick, add a splash of almond milk and mix until creamy. If it’s too thin, add 1 teaspoon chia seeds and let sit for 10 more minutes. - Add Toppings and Serve
Spoon the pudding into a bowl or enjoy straight from the jar. Top with fresh berries, nuts, coconut flakes, or yogurt for added texture and nutrition.
