Don’t let the name of this intimidate you, it’s ridiculously simple to make, extremely healthy and crazy delicious!
I feel like chia seed pudding has a bad rap.
When I mention “chia seed pudding” to people they seem scared or maybe even grossed out. Does it sound disgusting?
When you put these little cheeds into a liquid, they gelatinize into a pudding-like substance. And it’s amazing. And healthy. And packed with protein, fiber an antioxidants. Still think it’s sounds disgusting?
Keep an open mind, people!
As most of you know, I am all about make-ahead breakfasts, snacks, dinners etc and this is a perfect example of that. I will make 4 or 5 of these and keep them in my refrigerator for breakfast on a busy morning or for after dinner when a sweet craving hits. It’s so important to be prepared (especially when there are bags of candy still leftover for Halloween!)
I’ve made this will chopped pecans on top and the last time I added my candied pecans and mixed them in. SOOOOOO delicious!

I LOVE chia seed pudding! It’s a great make ahead breakfast and I need to try your Fall spin on it!
I, personally, love chia pudding and this is perfect as a make ahead, delicious breakfast – or even dessert! Loving the texture of the pecans in this!
I run towards chia anything (I’m hooked)! And I’m loving the colors of this one…and the flavor combo.
I love the sound of this…pinning to make soon
I make all different kinds of chia seed pudding and pumpkin spice is one of my seasonal favs. Love the idea of using candied pecans – yum!

Get into. But, now, love them!
