A fresh and fun chia pudding bowl perfect for game day, featuring creamy chia pudding, crunchy pomegranate seeds, and a sweet honey drizzle. This light yet satisfying dessert is quick to prepare and packed with textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk preferred, or coconut, oat, or regular dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons honey for drizzle (plus optional 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup in pudding)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) pomegranate seeds
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Optional: chopped nuts or granola for topping (toasted walnuts or pecans recommended)

Instructions

  1. Combine chia seeds and milk in a mixing bowl or jar. Stir vigorously with a whisk or fork to distribute seeds evenly and avoid clumps.
  2. Mix in vanilla extract and, if desired, honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Add lemon zest if using. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken into pudding. Stir again after 15-30 minutes if clumps form.
  4. Before serving, fold in Greek yogurt if using for extra creaminess and protein.
  5. Prepare toppings by removing pomegranate seeds from fruit and toasting nuts or granola if desired.
  6. Spoon pudding into bowls or jars. Top with pomegranate seeds, nuts or granola, and drizzle with honey.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Stir the chia seeds and milk mixture again after 15-30 minutes to prevent clumping. Use thicker plant milks like oat or almond for creamier pudding. Sweeten with honey drizzle just before serving for fresh flavor. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. If pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of milk before serving; if too thin, add more chia seeds and chill longer.
