How to make berry chia pudding
Making your own chia pudding at home couldn't be easier. My handy tip is to make your chia pudding in a jar - this avoids mess and makes it super easy to incorporate the chia seeds into the liquid by simply shaking the jar!
To make berry chia pudding, we'll first blend berries with oat milk and agave syrup until smooth, then add this to a jar with chia seeds and shake to combine.
The magic of chia pudding happens when you leave it to thicken in the fridge until it has a thick and creamy texture!
Notes on this recipe
- Substitute maple syrup or honey for the agave syrup if that's what you have on hand.
- Ensure you leave the chia pudding to thicken for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Prepared chia pudding will store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
FAQ
Yes! Feel free to use any milk of your choice. For an extra decadent option, use canned coconut milk!

I love serving chia pudding with fresh fruit, but you could also add fat-free yoghurt or my homemade chocolate orange granola!
