This 5 ingredient chia seed pudding is the perfect breakfast with simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

Chia seeds: Chia seeds are high in protein and healthy fats which makes them a great ingredient to include in breakfast. Wondering if chia seeds are healthy? Check out my deep dive on them!
Chocolate protein powder: My favorite is always chocolate gold standard whey protein powder but you can use any chocolate protein powder that you prefer!
Cocoa powder: This is optional but adds more chocolate flavor.
Peanut butter: Or any nut butter!
Fairlife Milk: I prefer using Fairlife milk because it has a higher protein content. You can use plain milk or chocolate if you want even more chocolate flavor in your breakfast.

That’s it!

Step by Step Instructions:

Now let’s walk through how to make this recipe. The best part? It comes together in just one blender!

1) Add all of your ingredients to a blender.

2) Blend until your chia seeds are fully smooth, about 1-2 minutes of blending. You may need to scrape the sides of your blender to keep your chia seeds by the blades.

LTN Tip: Your final result will FULLY depend on the type of blender that you own. If you have a blender with blades that go all the way to the top, it typically will not blend your chia seeds as well and you may end up with larger pieces of chia seed.

I highly recommend using a blender or blender cup that only has blades at the bottom. I get the best results when I use my personal ninja blender cup instead of my large ninja blender.

3) Store in glass containers and refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow your chia seed pudding to thicken. Enjoy as it is or top with additional peanut butter in the morning. Enjoy!

Swaps, substitutions, and serving suggestions:

Recipe FAQ:

Do I have to blend this chia pudding recipe?
1. Definitely not! While blending it will give it a smooth texture, you can certainly just mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate it for a more classic chia pudding texture.
Help! My chia seeds arent blending!
1. Your final chia pudding texture will fully depend on the type of blender that you use and how long you blend it for. I blended mine for over 1 minute to get it to a texture that I like.
  I also recommend that you use a blender or blender cup that has blades at the bottom instead of blades that go up the entire blender. Blades that extend up have larger spaces between the blades that allows the chia seeds to pass through which will leave you with intact chia seeds.
Can I use PBFit instead of actual peanut butter?
1. Yes! Simply sprinkle in your desired amount of PBFit and add a little extra milk to this recipe to help it blend.
