    • Whole30 Chia Pudding

    One of the biggest questions about Whole30 is what is a Whole30 breakfast without eggs? Personally, I've been on an egg hiatus due to an egg white allergy (check out my eggless brownies and eggless meatballs if you are in the same boat!)

    Even if you're not doing Whole30, you may just be on the hunt for breakfast ideas that aren't eggs. Besides this chia pudding we have a whole bunch of healthy breakfasts without eggs - try this quinoa parfait, overnight oats, baked oatmeal and oat flour pancakes are a few more to try!

    Or if you are here for Whole30 recipe ideas check out the entire catalog of Whole30 recipes and guides - like how to shop Whole30 at Trader Joe's and Aldi!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Prepping this Whole30 chia pudding is so easy!  This is the perfect easy breakfast that you can prep at night, stored in the refrigerator overnight and have in the morning.
    • Great for dietary preferences. Low-carb, diabetic-friendly, dairy-free, keto-friendly and Whole30 compliant.
    • Quick, no-bake recipe to throw together in less than 5 minutes.
    • Unflavored recipe making it a perfect canvas to customize with toppings like berries, bananas, mango, almond butter, pumpkin or almonds.

    • Plant milk: Almond milk, coconut milk or cashew milk will all work for this recipe.

    How to Make This Recipe

    This is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cook time and temperatures.

    steps for making this recipe.
    1. Add milk to jar.
    2. Add chia seeds. Use a hand frother to mix chia seeds and milk, allowing the mixture to settle before mixing again.
    3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    4. Top with fruit and enjoy.

    Expert Tips

    • Use a hand frother to easily blend Whole30 chia pudding in a jar. I usually mix them, allow the seeds to settle and then mix again so that they stay suspended in the liquid. The frother method seems to make the pudding thicker and makes the texture very tasty.
    • Toppings: Choose your favorite fruit to naturally sweeten this recipe. Bananas, berries like strawberries or blueberries are also good. Mango is a great choice as well. You can also top it with almond butter, coconut yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, a sprinkle of chocolate cacao powder or chopped almonds.
    • Storage & Make Ahead: Meal prep and allow it to set by storing in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days - it lasts in the fridge for almost a week. Freezing not recommended.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is Whole30 Chia Pudding good for you?

    Chia is a great superfood!  This recipe is a great source of protein and has lots of omega-3s. Chia seeds are also high in fiber.

    What is the chia to liquid ratio?

    I've found that the perfect ratio of chia seeds to milk is 2 tablespoon chia seeds to ½ cup milk.

    Is chia allowed on Whole30?

    Yes. They are Whole30 compliant, since they are considered seeds, not legumes or grains and is allowed.

    Do you have to soak the seeds before making it?

    The seeds expand to make the pudding overnight which is why I recommend making this recipe the night before. You can also make a larger batch to scoop out into individual bowls throughout the week.

    This Whole30 Chia pudding is a great meal prep recipe you can make ahead of time that is not eggs and requires no heating. Just top with your favorite fruits and put into meal prep containers for an entire week of breakfasts.
