Matcha, known for its vibrant color and earthy flavor, is rich in antioxidants, boosts metabolism, and enhances focus without the jittery side effects of coffee.

Overnight Chia Seed and Granola Pudding

We hope the year is going well for you and you are still conquering your New Year’s resolutions. This month I am sharing one of my favorite powerhouse breakfasts—overnight chia seed and granola pudding!

Chia seeds and oats make for a power pairing. I like to mix chia seeds and Little Red Wagon granola with milk and yogurt to make a quick breakfast with serious nutrition and staying power. This simple breakfast packs in omega-3s, beta glucen, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and whole grains. Who knew you could get so much nutrition in one meal?

I like to prep this overnight to allow the chia seeds to “sprout” which in turn increases the amount of nutrients your body can absorb. If you are in a crunch, you can still whip up the ingredients in the morning in a snap. I hope this nutritious and filling breakfast starts your day on a good note and helps you conquer your day!

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup Granola of your favorite Little Red Wagon Granola, I like to use Crunchy Monkey, my favorite 😉
  • 1 tablespoon whole chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice

Instructions:

  1. Add Greek yogurt, almond milk, sweetener to taste, and chia seeds into a medium Tupperware container and stir to combine.
  2. If you like a more oatmeal consistency go ahead and add in the granola and stir lightly to mix it in.  If you prefer to have a bit of crunch in the pudding, add the granola in the morning before serving rather than at night.
  3. Refrigerate overnight.
  4. In the morning pull the pudding from the refrigerator.  Stir the pudding and transfer into a bowl as desired.  If you didn’t add the granola in step 2, add now. 
  5. Top with fresh fruit and enjoy!

** If the pudding is too thick for your liking, feel free to add more milk
