When it comes to the health aspect of this recipe, it’s pretty hard to beat. Chia seeds are a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, protein, dietary fiber and a wide arrange of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Basically, they are a nutritional powerhouse. Because they are so rich in dietary fiber, some people’s stomachs don’t tolerate them all that well. If this applies to you, try starting with a small amount of chia seeds (1 tablespoon) and gradually work your way up to 2 and 3 tablespoons. If your stomach still doesn’t seem to tolerate them, you should probably just listen to your body and stay away from chia seeds, despite of their health benefits.

• Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
• PB and Jelly Overnight Oats
• Creamy & Healthy Tahini Overnight Oats

• Chia seeds – Are soaked in plant milk overnight to soften up and absorb most of the moisture, which makes them expand and create a pudding-like texture.
• Raspberries and blueberries – Frozen raspberries and blueberries are simply cooked until they start releasing their moisture and become somewhat jam-like.
• Plant milk – For a rich and creamy chia pudding base.
• Maple Syrup – Adds a lovely touch of sweetness, without overdoing it.

• Make overnight oats instead of chia pudding – Don’t like chia pudding or simply want to try something different? You can easily turn this recipe into overnight oats by swapping out the chia seeds for oats. The liquid ratio will be different, meaning you will need less plant milk compared to the chia pudding recipe. For chia pudding we use a 1:6 ratio, for overnight oats our preferred ratio is 1:3. So, instead of 180 ml of plant milk you will only need 90 ml of plant milk when using 30 grams of oats. You can obviously adjust this to your liking if you want more oats, just keep with the 1:3 ratio.
• Vanilla extract – You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the chia pudding base to make it a little bit more special and fancy.
• Add granola – We like to top off the Berry Chia Pudding with some crunchy granola.
• Cocoa nibs – Sprinkle over some cocoa nibs for a bit of crunch.
