This 2-ingredient chia pudding might be the easiest breakfast meal prep ever. All you need is vanilla Greek yogurt and chia seeds to make a thick, creamy pudding that feels a little more satisfying than a regular yogurt bowl.

I love preparing a batch at night so breakfast is already waiting in the fridge the next morning. Divide it into individual jars and add fruit, granola, honey, or nut butter when you’re ready to eat. It’s simple, customizable, and perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Vanilla Greek yogurt: This creates a thick, creamy base while adding plenty of flavor and protein. Use your favorite brand and preferred fat percentage.

Chia seeds: Chia seeds absorb moisture as the pudding rests, creating its thick texture while adding fiber and healthy fats.

Ways to Serve

This Greek yogurt chia pudding is delicious on its own, but toppings make it even better. Try serving it with:

Fresh berries, banana, peaches, or mango
Your favorite granola
A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter
Chopped nuts or seeds
Toasted coconut
A sprinkle of cinnamon
Cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips

For the best texture, wait to add crunchy toppings until just before serving.

Easy Swaps & Tips

Try another yogurt flavor: Strawberry, blueberry, coconut, or mixed berry Greek yogurt would all work well.

Adjust the sweetness: Depending on the yogurt you choose, you may not need any additional sweetener. Taste the pudding before adding honey or maple syrup.

Don’t skip the second stir: Giving the mixture another stir after it begins to rest helps distribute the chia seeds and prevents clumps.

Make individual servings: You can divide the mixture into four jars before refrigerating for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.

Adjust the texture: If the pudding becomes thicker than you prefer, stir in a small splash of milk before serving.

Storage Tips

Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can keep it in one large container or divide it into individual jars for meal prep.

Store fruit, granola, and other toppings separately so they stay fresh and crunchy.

Ingredients

1 24-ounce tub vanilla Greek yogurt
1/3 cup chia seeds

Optional toppings:

Fresh fruit
granola, honey, or nut butter

Instructions

Add the chia seeds directly to the container of Greek yogurt.
Stir well until the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to help prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thickened.
When ready to eat, stir the chia pudding once more and divide it into four servings.
Add fresh fruit, granola, honey, nut butter, or any of your favorite toppings and enjoy.
