First Watch Chia Pudding Bowl Ingredients

How To Make First Watch Chia Pudding Bowl (Superfood Recipe)

Step 1: Start by adding chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract into a jar or bowl. Stir well so the chia seeds are evenly distributed and don’t clump together.

Step 2: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best thick, creamy texture. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and turn into a pudding-like consistency.

Step 3: When ready to serve, give it a good stir and spoon it into a bowl or glass. Top with fresh berries, granola, nuts, or coconut flakes for that café-style finish.

Step 4: Serve chilled and enjoy a healthy, superfood-packed breakfast or snack.

First Watch Chia Pudding Bowl Recipe Tips

• Stir well right away: Give it a strong mix after combining ingredients so the chia seeds don’t clump together at the bottom.
• Let it sit long enough: Chia needs time to thicken. At least 4 hours works, but overnight gives the best pudding texture.
• Adjust sweetness to taste: Start light with honey or maple syrup, then add more after chilling if needed.
• Use a creamy milk base: Dairy milk, almond milk, or oat milk all work, but thicker milk gives a richer result.
• Stir again before serving: The mixture can settle, so a quick stir brings back that smooth, pudding-like texture.
• Add toppings last minute Granola, nuts, and fruit stay fresher and crunchier when added right before eating.
• Make it in jars for grab-and-go Perfect for meal prep—just portion into jars for an easy breakfast all week.

Storing And Make Ahead Instructions

• Storing Instructions: Store chia pudding in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Keep toppings separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness and texture.

• Make Ahead Instructions: Prepare the chia pudding mixture the night before for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. Stir well, refrigerate overnight, and simply add toppings when ready to eat.
