You know those days when you just need an extra boost of energy?! Pretty much every afternoon for me since I’m not a coffee drinker. Introducing the perfect energizing breakfast or snack: berry chia pudding!

Speaking of coffee, I often get questions on how to drink less caffeine and this snack is a great solution. The afternoon lull hits around 3pm, so I grab my pudding from the fridge for a sustainable energy boost.

This is both easy to make and filling, thanks to the fiber and protein. I always reach for it when I’m craving something sweet, but don’t want to crash from processed sugar. These berries are low in sugar and full of antioxidants.

Not to mention, this snack looks gorgeous with minimal effort so you can treat yourself to something special and simple. Win-win.

This recipe is:

  • vegan
  • gluten-free
  • refined sugar-free
  • anti-inflammatory
  • paleo

Recipe FAQs:

Can I make chia pudding the night before?

Yes, this pudding can be prepped and left in the fridge overnight. Therefore, I recommend prepping it for a few days ahead. You can even keep the toppings in a separate container, and combine the two when you’re ready to enjoy.

Do I need to layer the berries?

Although I layered mine in a mason jar, feel free to prep it in a bowl if that’s your vibe. The bright berries taste delicious regardless.

Is chia seed pudding good for you?

This pudding provides over 30g of fiber, which means you can check off your daily minimum needed. Fiber is so important for gut health, digestion, and clear skin. Did you know these seeds have over 5x the calcium that dairy milk has? They’re also rich in omega-3, potassium, and iron.
