Ingredients
- Chia Seeds – I recommend buying these in bulk and making a chia pudding recipe every week.
- Milk – Use your preferred milk – almond, oat, coconut, etc. Water can be substituted for lower calories.
- Pistachio Pudding Mix – Sugar-free Jello instant pudding mix brings the pistachio flavor.
- Topping – Chopped pistachios or granola.

Tips
- Don’t care for the texture of chia pudding? Try blending it with an immersion blender or a standing blender before refrigerating.
- Add melted chocolate over the top to make a Dubai chocolate bar inspired version.
- Make sure you stir once when you initially mix the ingredients, and again 10-15 minutes later to keep the chia seeds from clumping.
- Switch up your meal prep routine and try other variations like this even creamier ube chia pudding or the more indulgent PB&J chia pudding.
