There’s Always Time for Breakfast
While I haven’t always eaten very healthy, a homemade breakfast has always been a non-negotiable for me. On slower mornings, I love making a big Dutch baby pancake complete with berry sauce and whipped cream, but as a busy mom that’s just not a reality most days.
On days where I have to rush the kids out the door, chia seed pudding is a life-saver. It takes only a few minutes to throw together the night before, and the kids always gobble it up so fast!
I love using simple, nutrient-dense ingredients like raw honey, berries, and whole milk that keep us fueled even when we only have a few minutes to eat.

Tips for Success
Start with the milk – To make mixing easier, pour the milk into the jar before adding the other ingredients.
Mix twice – For years I only whisked chia seed pudding once, and no matter how well it was mixed, I always ended up with some clumps. Whisking the mixture twice completely solved this issue and creates a much better pudding texture.
Don’t double the batch – If you want to make multiple servings at once, use more jars. Making a larger amount in one jar can lead to the seeds clumping, creating a chunky texture with some dry spots.
Adjust sweetness as desired – This chia seed pudding is designed to be lower in sugar, however, feel free to increase the amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
