Warm chia pudding is a comforting and filling breakfast or snack during the fall season. It’s also ready in 10 minutes and has lots of protein. 

One thing I love about making chia seed pudding is that it is so versatile. You can add almost any of your favorite ingredients and not eat the same version twice. 

It’s so simple to make but also very nutritious, which means it’s a great option for kids too! You can literally have this pudding ready by the time your little one packs their bookbag and puts on their shoes! 

Chia pudding that is served warm is also great on a cold morning, especially when you’ve had enough oatmeal for the week. 

Are Chia Seeds Healthy?

Chia seeds are full of antioxidants, a great source of omega-3s, and are an easy way to add more fiber into your diet. Because they are high in soluble fiber and contain omega 3 fatty acids, they may also lower risk of heart disease when consumed on a regular basis. These little seeds are also high in magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

They are also pretty convenient to have on hand when you run out of eggs. Chia seeds and water are great egg replacements, whether you are vegan or you don’t feel like running to the store. 

Have leftover chia seeds? Of course you do! Use them to make blueberry chia muffins and blueberry chia jam! 

Ingredients Needed 

• frozen wild blueberries or raspberries
• water
• chia seeds
• Milk – use your favorite variety
• Greek yogurt
• vanilla extract

How to Make Warm Chia Pudding 

Add the frozen blueberries and water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. 

Turn off the heat and add the chia seeds, milk, and yogurt. 

Sprinkle and drizzle your favorite toppings, and serve! 

Can You Use Fresh Blueberries? 

I prefer frozen because you don’t have to use as much water and it still has all of the fruity flavors.
