This chia pudding recipe is easy to make, customizable, and perfect for meal prep. Creamy, nutty chia seeds mix with milk and toppings for a healthy, satisfying breakfast or snack. Kids and adults love this!
First, in a medium-sized bowl or jar, mix together the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir well to combine.
Mash the ripe banana until smooth, then stir into the chia mixture. This will naturally sweeten the pudding without any added sugar.
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Stir the mixture after 30 minutes to make sure the chia seeds don’t clump at the bottom.
Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir and serve. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds if desired!
