If you follow me on Instagram, this recipe probably looks familiar. It’s become a go-to for me as the weather has warmed up so I think it’s worth sharing on the blog as well!
This blueberry mint chia seed pudding only requires five ingredients and is the perfect warm-weather breakfast or snack. Think light and refreshing–just enough sweetness without feeling like dessert.

Woof. Talk about a slow start to the week. As our flight home from Scottsdale was about to take off Sunday evening, I began to feel nauseous. Brushing it off as motion sickness, I didn’t think much of it … I threw up at least twelve times. Basically a living nightmare when you’re on a redeye sitting middle seat between two sleeping people. I couldn’t eat, drink or move from my bed all day yesterday. Another girl on our flight was ill and actually passed out in the aisle (this plane was a full-blown disaster), so I’m assuming I got some nasty bug that was going around. I’m exhausted this morning but able to keep down food so things are looking up!
Probably not the best choice to start a recipe post with a story about barfing but errr here we are …
I’ve been queen of the mason jar breakfasts lately between overnight oats and chia seed puddings. I wake up at 5AM most mornings and book it out of the apartment to teach so I’m LOVING breakfasts I can prepare the night before and grab the next day.
You can top this cinnamon raisin overnight oats recipe with whatever fresh fruit you want (or none at all). If I don’t do strawberries, I’ll typically go for blueberries. But get creative!

I’ve been loving this almond butter banana chia seed pudding as a make-ahead breakfast option! This might sound weird, but I go through phases where I’m completely disgusted by eggs—can’t even smell them cooking without gagging—and I’m in one now. My mom says it’s because of a heightening consciousness (veganism is part of her faith), and that makes me sound super cool so let’s go with that. 😉
Regardless of reasoning, I’ve been in need of easy eggless breakfast options lately. Chia seed pudding is awesome because you prepare it the night before and then in the morning have it ready to go. This almond butter banana chia seed pudding recipe is SO GOOD. It makes for a great breakfast but could also satisfy a sweet tooth craving at night if you’re looking for healthy dessert options.
I have a blueberry mint chia seed pudding recipe on the blog as well. And if you’re looking for other make-ahead breakfast options, I have some delicious overnight oats recipes you’ll love:
Prep this banana chia seed pudding tonight and kick your week off right by enjoying it for breakfast tomorrow morning! If you prepare it in a mason jar, it makes it easy to bring with you to work or to school.
Are you a chia seed pudding fan? What are some of your favorite flavor combos? And anyone else get weird temporary food revulsions? Happens to me with eggs, melted cheese and fish. Maybe my body is telling me to be a vegan …
