  • Jar or bowl with lid
  • Spoon or small whisk

Ingredients

  • cup brewed coffee or ⅓ cup hot water + 1 heaping teaspoon instant coffee
  • cup milk
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon vanilla personally, I liked ¼ teaspoon vanilla when I didn't add extra ingredients, but ½ teaspoon is good with extra add-ins
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sweetener brown sugar, white sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc.
  • 3 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • Optional add-ins: spoonful peanut butter, yogurt, whipped cream/cream, chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Add the following ingredients to a jar or bowl with a lid: ⅓ cup brewed coffee, ⅓ cup milk, ¼-1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 ½ teaspoon sweetener of choice (I used brown sugar), 3 Tablespoons chia seeds. Taste and adjust milk/sweetener to preference.
    Add additional ingredients, if desired: yogurt, peanut butter, cream, etc.
  • Cover with lid and shake well, until combined. Or stir with a spoon or whisk.

  • Before eating, taste and add additional ingredients or adjust milk, sweetener if needed. Stir and enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in fridge for 3-5 days, or until smell changes.

Notes

  • Use milk of preference
  • Use sweetener of preference, I recommend brown sugar or white sugar
  • If you're very hungry, I recommend adding yogurt or peanut butter to your coffee chia pudding
  • Adjust amounts of milk, sweetener, coffee, vanilla to your preference. It's easier to add more, so start small. Test after mixing and then again before serving.
  • This recipe is easy to make multiple servings for the week at the same time. Store each in individual containers or a big batch to spoon out each serving.
  • Optional add-ins: more sweetener, Greek or regular yogurt (if using plain yogurt, add extra sweetener), cream, whipped cream, peanut butter, cocoa powder or chocolate shavings
