Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened soy milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk of choice)
  • 3 Tbsp (≈32 g) whole chia seeds
  • 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup (or agave syrup)
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ⅓ cup (≈43 g) frozen mixed berries
  • ¼ cup (≈65 g) unsweetened soy yogurt (or any unsweetened plant-based yogurt)
  • 3 Tbsp (≈23 g) vegan granola (gluten-free optional)
  • ¼ cup (≈38 g) fresh mixed berries (optional: mangoes or peaches can be used instead)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, combine the soy milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Stir well so the seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 8 minutes to begin forming a gel-like texture.
  3. Meanwhile, thaw the frozen mixed berries: place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 600 W for 1–2 minutes or thaw on the stove. Set aside to cool.
  4. After the initial rest, stir the chia mixture again to redistribute any settled seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to fully set.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding again to smooth the texture. Top with yogurt, granola, thawed mixed berries and fresh berries if using. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use any plant-based milk of choice: almond, oat, or coconut also work well.
  • For extra protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or sprinkle hemp seeds on top.
  • Make in batches and store in individual jars for a grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
  • Add toppings just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the chia mixture after it has set.
