Keep your fridge stocked for a healthy grab-and-go snack or breakfast<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to add one food to your diet that is a nutrition multitasker \u2013 try chia seeds! These little seeds don\u2019t look like much, but regularly incorporating them in your diet is associated with a <a href=\"https:\/\/gethealthyu.com\/health-benefits-of-chia-seeds-plus-recipes\/\" data-lasso-id=\"73756\">variety of health benefits<\/a> like better cholesterol and lower inflammation. <\/p>\n<p>This vanilla chia seed pudding recipe is my favorite way to eat them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When soaked in water, chia seeds hydrate and expand. That\u2019s because they\u2019re rich in a type of fiber called mucilage which gives them that gel-like consistency. We harness that super power and use it to make this chia pudding that is creamy and rich with just the right amount of vanilla.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This pudding is easy to meal prep in batches for the week so you have a grab-and-go snack or healthy breakfast (or dessert!). I love having this chia pudding with fresh fruit instead of my go-to bowl of yogurt for breakfast. <\/p>\n<p>The other great thing about this recipe is that it is diet and allergen friendly since it\u2019s gluten-free as well as vegan and dairy free when you use a plant-based milk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Check out even of Get Healthy U\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gethealthyu.com\/healthy-breakfast-recipes-for-a-crowd\/\" data-lasso-id=\"73757\">healthy breakfast ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-area block-area-table-of-contents\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center has-quinary-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-description=\"If you are like most people I train, you probably have no idea what the difference is between muscle strength and muscle endurance and quite frankly, you might not really care.

You can also use unsweetened vanilla plant-based milk (I like unsweetened almond milk), but you can try cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk too. For an extra indulgent pudding, you can also try this recipe with canned coconut milk.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chia Seeds: <\/strong>chia seeds have this superpower that allows them to absorb a ton of water so they plump up and soften, creating a pudding-like texture. (It\u2019s similar to tapioca pudding.) They\u2019re relatively easy to find these days in the baking aisle or bulk bins at most grocery stores.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple Syrup:<\/strong> I like to use maple syrup to sweeten chia pudding but you can also use honey. (However, I find that maple syrup dissolves better than honey since the mixture is cold.) You can also use a sugar free alternative sweetener like monkfruit or stevia.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> to make sure the finished pudding has plenty of vanilla flavor, we use about 1 \u00bd teaspoons of vanilla extract for this recipe. Higher quality vanilla extract will have more flavor so try to keep some on hand for this recipe. You can also use vanilla paste instead of extract for even more vanilla flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sea Salt:<\/strong> just a small pinch of sea salt helps enhance the chocolate flavor.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-variations\">Variations<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Blend it Up:<\/strong> if you want a smooth texture, blend your chia pudding in the blender before chilling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stir in Flavorings: <\/strong>mix jam into your chia pudding after chilling. Stir in your favorite spice like cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Fruit:<\/strong> stir frozen fruit into the chia pudding before chilling OR top your prepped chia pudding with fresh fruit (or thawed from frozen). Really any fruit is great: bananas, kiwi, apples, pears, berries, pomegranate, pineapple, mango, and more.\u00a0Remember, berries are a great <a href=\"https:\/\/gethealthyu.com\/6-foods-fight-inflammation\/\" data-lasso-id=\"73758\">anti-inflammatory food<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Toppings: <\/strong>add crunchy toppings for extra texture \u2013 we like coconut, granola, or nuts.

It will continue to thicken the longer you leave it, so if you prefer a thicker consistency, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. <\/p>\n<p>If your overnight chia pudding gets too thick after chilling, just stir in a splash of milk to thin.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage\">Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Chia pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze your chia pudding for up to 3 months. <\/p>\n<p>Allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying from frozen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-44462\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"44462\" data-servings=\"2\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-cwp-food\">\n<div class=\"cwp-food-content\">\n\t  <!-- .wpforms-container --><\/p>\n<p><label id=\"wprm-toggle-switch-1107606373\" class=\"wprm-toggle-switch wprm-toggle-switch-rounded\"><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"wprm-prevent-sleep-checkbox-1107606373\" class=\"wprm-prevent-sleep-checkbox\"\/><span class=\"wprm-toggle-switch-slider\" style=\"width: 40px;height: 20px;margin-top: -10px;background-color: #cccccc;border-radius: 10px;\"\/><span class=\"wprm-toggle-switch-label wprm-prevent-sleep-label wprm-block-text-bold\" style=\"margin-left: 50px;\">Cook Mode<\/span><\/label><span class=\"wprm-prevent-sleep-description wprm-block-text-normal\">Prevent your screen from going dark<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-recipe-44462-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe=\"44462\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-44462-step-0-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p>Add all the pudding ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
