Does anyone have a healthy/low calorie chia seed pudding recipe?? I tried one last night with almond milk, vanilla extract, and chia, let it sit over night in the fridge and it tastes great just super watery. Maybe I did something wrong? Anyways, any ideas are appreciated! :D

    It takes a few tried to get it just right. Try using a little less almond milk next time.

    I haven't been successful with any less than 2T of chia seeds for 1 cup of liquid.
    If mine are too watery I'll add some shredded coconut to thicken it up~ yum!

    I just learned of this from Mike Dolce. He is a trainer for many of the MMA Fighters who has his own workout program and nutritional program. Just search under his name / Chia seed pudding in YouTube. He has a great vid there. I've done it and it is super easy, even my wife makes her own now. It is basically 3 teaspoons of chia seeds and little water let it sit maybe 30 minutes and then I add a little yogurt and fruit! Taste great.

    I've been making a chia seed pudding for breakfast lately and it has been delicious.

    - 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
    - 1/3 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
    - 2 Tbsp chia seed
    - 2 Tbsp PB2
    - 1 Tbsp honey

    Mix all ingredients and let sit overnight.

    I make chia seed pudding quite often...if you are leaving it overnight to set it should be more then thick enough! I often have to add more liquid if I leave it over night. One or 2 hours in the fridge is good enough for a pretty thick pudding-like consistency! Are you sure you are using the right ratio of seeds to liquid? The proper ratio is 3 tablespoons of chia seeds per 1 cup of liquid.

    If you like bananas you will love this recipe... http://ohsheglows.com/2013/02/18/chia-seed-breakfast-bowl/

    and chocolate chia pudding is delicious and healthy as well! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-chia-seed-pudding/

    In for more ideas!

    I've made it with pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk, splenda, cinnamon and of course chia seeds. Super yummy. I also like chia seeds with unsweetened coconut milk and splenda.

    I made some that was really good by putting 2/3 cup of chia seeds in a jar with 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract - mix it all up and leave in fridge over night. NOT watery at all :) reminds me a lot like tapioca! You can add all other sorts of flavors in there (cinnamon, nutmeg, fruit, etc.)

    Check your ratio is right, you want about 1 cup of milk to 3 tablespoons of chia seeds.

    It's also a great breakfast if you mix it with oatmeal and protein powder and refrigerate it overnight.

    Here are a couple that I've made and really enjoyed. For both of these I'd say it's best to make it at least the day before to get the right consistency. Enjoy!

    I love chia pudding. I was making it pretty consistently for a while with just lots of cinnamon and a little maple syrup. Consistency was perfect! Then, I ran out of chia seeds and grabbed another bag--different brand. And, oddly, those won't thicken up using the same recipe! Will try again adding more, but just thought I'd share that the quantities may differ depending on brand!
