Overnight chia pudding
Instructions
Tips
When you refrigerate chia pudding overnight, the seeds absorb the liquid and expand, creating a gel-like texture. Sometimes, due to the density of the chia seeds, they can settle at the bottom of the container while the liquid stays on top. This can result in an uneven distribution of seeds throughout the pudding. To ensure a consistent texture and distribute the seeds evenly, give the pudding a stir before you eat it.
Tips
To make your mornings even easier, prepare a batch of chia pudding in advance for the entire week. Simply multiply the ingredients based on the number of servings you need. Divide the mixture into individual airtight containers or jars and refrigerate them. This way, you can grab a jar of chia pudding each morning, add your favourite toppings, and enjoy your breakfast without any hassle.

Prepare in advance for easy mornings
Preparing chia pudding in advance is a great way to make mornings easier. By taking a little time the night before, you can have a hearty and delicious breakfast ready in no time in the morning. When you combine chia seeds with skyr and water and leave them in the refrigerator overnight, the seeds absorb the liquid and create a luscious, pudding-like consistency. This overnight process allows the flavours to meld together, resulting in an oh-so-tasty treat.
Add your favourite toppings
The beauty of pre-made chia pudding is that it is versatile and customisable. You can even make several individual containers of pudding for the whole family to enjoy. When you wake up in the morning, everyone can add their own favourite toppings. When it comes to fruits and berries, there are no boundaries. Choose your personal favourites or go with what is in season to embrace the versatility of the pudding. Adding fresh fruits and berries will add a burst of flavour and freshness that complements the pudding perfectly. For a satisfying crunch, sprinkle a handful of chopped almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds on top. If you are looking for an indulgent twist, drizzle almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter over your chia pudding. The rich and smooth texture of these nut butters will take the velvety chia pudding to a luxurious level. If you are craving a taste of the tropics, sprinkle with shredded coconut. The tropical flavour and chewy texture will transport you to a sunny paradise with every bite. On the other hand, if you are in the mood for warm and cosy flavours, a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or cocoa powder will add a wholesome and aromatic note to your overnight breakfast.
