HOW TO MAKE CHIA PUDDING WITH ALMOND MILK
Have you ever made overnight oats? If so, making chia pudding is quite similar.
First, whisk the almond butter, maple syrup and milk together. Since we’re making almond butter pudding, I do recommend using almond milk for a little extra almond-y flavor, but technically speaking any kind of milk works.
Next, stir in the chia seeds. You’ll want to whisk everything together–chia seeds included–for 30 seconds or so. Then, place the bowl in the refrigerator, or you can distribute the mixture into cups or jars and refrigerate them for at least three hours. I find that it’s easiest to make chia pudding at night so then breakfast is ready for you in the mornings.
I opted to top it with almonds and an extra drizzle of almond butter for good measure. Additional toppings include: peanuts, banana and/or chocolate chips. Regardless of what you top it with, you need—yes, NEED—to make this almond butter chia pudding if you’re an almond butter lover. ..which I know you are because we already talked about it 😉

Notes
Nutrition
Any ideas or recommendations to increase protein in the recipe?
You could whisk in a scoop of vanilla or plain protein powder — that should work!
Thank you! It was excellent the first time. This time I did half almond milk half fair life chocolate and a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Didn’t add sweetener
Delicious, I am not fan of chia but this recipe is super tasty
I’m so glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing this! By far my most favourite chia pudding. So delicious and creamy. Really feels indulgent
It looks really tasty and healthy treat but is it really 705 calories per serving ?
Hi Sharon — the calories are an estimation, and I’d say it’s largely due to the almond butter–nuts have a lot of calories, but plenty of healthy fats! I tend to eat chia pudding 1-2x per week rather than every single day — it’s a tasty and very filling breakfast option.
Hi! This looks like perfection. Do you use sweetened or unsweetened almond milk? Thank you!
I use unsweetened, but either works!
