Overnight Chia Pudding with Berries – Healthy Breakfast

A creamy overnight chia pudding layered with fresh berries—nutritious, dairy-free, and ready to grab in the morning.

If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s both convenient and nourishing, overnight chia pudding is a perfect choice. By simply soaking chia seeds in almond milk or any milk of your choice, the seeds absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency. This base can then be flavored with honey or maple syrup and paired with seasonal fruits for a wholesome, refreshing meal. Topped with mixed berries, this chia pudding delivers a burst of flavor, color, and nutrients. Best of all, it’s a no-cook recipe that you can prepare in advance, making mornings stress-free while still enjoying a luxurious and nutrient-packed breakfast.
