- Meal prep chia pudding - you can freeze it for weeks! Chia pudding is a healthy breakfast recipe and it's even better when you can make a large batch, freeze it for several weeks and then just thaw as needed.
The topping ideas are endless and I give several ideas in the video and blog post. Even better? You can meal prep chocolate chia pudding for dessert! This means you can always have a healthy dessert ready for when the chocolate craving strikes.
These recipes are all dairy-free, vegan and paleo friendly. It's so easy to meal prep chia pudding and once you do, you'll be hooked as well. Enjoy!

Hi guys! I'm happy to be back with a new meal prep video and I think you're really gonna love this. It makes grab-and-go breakfast super easy and it's great for the summer months! Don't forget to download the PDF and join our new private Facebook community (linked in the description). What's your favorite flavor on the chia pudding? xo - Lisa
Happy to do this recipes it is just amazing
Downshiftology I wondered where you went! Always grateful to you for your amazing content (especially with pdfs!)
Mango. Loves it! 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗
This is amazing! I'm definitely making this!
plz mor video qinwa
I became a fan of this recipe. For the chocolate version I added an additional step: heating the cocoa powder with half of the coconut milk for a couple of minutes. Heating the cocoa powder "opens" its flavor and it enhances its chocolate taste. With raspberries or a spoon of peanut butter it is simply amazing
Oooh yum
❤ this freezing idea for days when I barely have time and zip out the door minus breakfast. Now I just take a jar out as soon as I wake up. I put it in my bag and I’m out the door! When I get to work, it has already fully thawed and I’m a happy healthy camper. Thanksssss
It's seriously the best for meal prep!
As a doctor, I didn’t have much time to cook and meal prep... but you, with your blog and videos - and your kindness and simpathy - saved me ☺️. Now I can eat healthy, in spite of living in a hurry 😜. I am an eternal fan of you... you are amazing ❤️
Hugs and kisses from Brazil 😘🤗
Oh, thanks so much Juliana! You're so sweet. Hugs to you in Brazil!
😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
I am so proud of you as a doctor, to try healthy eating. Stay healthy!
Juliana Pettinati so proud of you! doctors are ALWAYS super busy, so i usually eat whatever i see first, and it’s often not healthy.
whatabouttrish thank you very much, dear! I try! Not always I succeed, but these meal prep videos helped me a lot. I bought a new vitamix and a spiralizer and these are helping me a lot! Thanks a lot for your support and caring! 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
I bought popsicle molds (even though my kids are grown and out of the house) and I make chocolate banana chia pudding to make fudgesicles! Great for snacks or desert!
Lisa can you make a meal prep for college students?
I'll add it to my list. :)
Great idea :)
@@Downshiftology PLEASE!!!!
PLEASE
Curious what something for college students means? I wasn't aware that any of her videos were geared towards a specific group.
I have to agree, mango and coconut work wonderfully well together. I find that adding a few cranberries works really well as their slight sourness complements the mango nicely and gives it an appetizing colour palette.
I was recently diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus. It has been such a miserable experience until I had changed my diet completely. OMG, I just saw your channel. SUBSCRIBED!
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve had GERD since I can remember and I am scared to have Barrett’s Esophagus. What are your symptoms??
Be healed in the name of Jesus Christ
@@legacybuilder9664 does your god love hitler?
ugh, this was amazing. Im a very busy student and this was perfect. I bought whatever i could cheap, so i made the choclate with 99C blackberries and it exceeded my expectations. thank you. Bless my mother for loaning me mason jars.
My favorite chia pudding topping is sliced banana and chopped pecans. With vanilla extract and a little honey it tastes great! I usually keep the nuts in a baggie until I'm ready to eat so they stay crunchy
I tried this recipe and loved the unique way you made it! Meal prepping chia pudding and being able to freeze it for weeks is such a time-saver and a great healthy breakfast idea. I made a batch following your instructions, and it turned out delicious every time I had it. It's convenient and nutritious, perfect for busy mornings. One more thing, I made it with True Elements chia seeds, and it turned out amazing. Thank you for the recipe!
You are that kind of youtuber that I watch without feelling exhausted!!!😀😀😀😀😀

Welcome to the Downshiftology community :) Take a peek through my website as well for more Keto recipes!
So how was your experience?how much weight did you loose?
For the creamy chocolate chia pudding dessert I use full fat coconut milk, a table spoon of maple syrup, vanilla & cacao & stir it up. & then I add all the extras depending on my mood. Adding strawberries & bananas ontop is a go to for sure though. 😁 It makes it's so yummy with the coconut milk! 🥰
Thank you because that's all I have I rarely by the other milks and I make Thai food with coconut milk so I've been wondering but it's so sweet so I didn't doubt it too much but thank you
That's exactly what I need it!! A whole world of healthy breakfast ideas and snacks. The best boost energy to start your day. Thank you.

In my personal experience, meal prepping chia pudding has been a game-changer. It saves time in the morning and ensures I have a nutritious breakfast ready to go.

Chocolate almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, fresh banana and strawberries, shredded coconut and sliced almonds yum
Why do u all drink almond milk or coco ut milk...why not cow's milk
Thanks for the tip regarding using fresh chia seeds - I will keep this in mind when making pudding. It’s also good to know that I can blend if they don’t gel up like they should
I just bought chia seeds never had them in my diet before so excited to try these pudding. I also love how you have the downloadable PDFs for the recipes thank you so much
I also use chia in my smoothies.
The information you provided in this video about meal-prepping chia pudding was great and so easy to understand. I really appreciated how simply you explained everything, and the recipes were so easy to make. I tried making it, and my mom loves it too!
I will definitely be using this information and sharing it with others who are looking for healthy and convenient breakfast ideas.
I recently made it with True Elements chia seeds, and it turned out amazing. Chia seeds are such a versatile and nutritious ingredient. Thank you for sharing such valuable insights and the fantastic recipe!
I just bought a huge bag of chia seeds after hearing the benefits. You are a life saver Thankyou so much for the ideas! 🥰✨
I love adding matcha powder to my chia pudding and then topping it with fresh strawberries or raspberries! So good and it adds just another level of healthy to an already healthy snack/meal. Thank you for the idea of the chocolate pudding, why I never thought of it I do not know, I did add a tsp of instant coffee just to deepen the chocolate punch, sooo tasty!!
Sounds great! Chia pudding is definitely a recipe that you can customize with so many different flavors and toppings 😊
i've been doing chia pudding for a while and those are very good pairings, some i never tried myself.
One thing i noticed is that when i make chia gel, the seeds expand and gel much better if i use water only. Not much water, just enough to cover the seeds and a littler more. THEN i add this gel, where the water is completely absorbed, to whatever milk im using, usually home made almond milk or coconut milk, this way i get a better result than adding the seeds to the vegetable milk, maybe the fats in the milk slow down the gelification process? Just a guess.
Interesting. I'm gonna try that! Thanks
Makes sense, thank you
It's so true, water only let the seeds go gely
I love your presentation. I just purchased 6 small glass jars for the chia. I can't wait to make them like you did. Especially now I know you can also freeze them. Thanks so much.
All of your recipes look delicious! Did not realize freezing chia seed pudding would work w/out changing the texture. Thanks for experimenting w it and letting us know.
I enjoy coconut milk and cream w honey for my chia seed pudding. Sometimes I add cocoa powder if I’m in the chocolate mood.
Also, breakfast overnight oats with chia seed pudding of your choice, yogurt, banana and topped w nuts when ready to eat.
Everything looks absolutely delicious. For those with latex allergies you maybe also allergic to kiwi. I found this out years ago my eye sunk in after having kiwi.
I love the idea of making several batches of chia pudding and freezing it for later. Perfect for busy mornings and great for on the go👍🏼
Love this video ❤️❤️❤️Can’t wait to try🙂
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I have Hashimotos so I’m doing a drastic life style change. Thankyou for this! I bought the jars and they are perfect for chia and oats 💖
I'm so glad to hear Edith! Good luck on your lifestyle and wellness journey :)
I have been cutting fruit wrong my whole life! This video has really blessed me, thanks for posting it!
Me too! Loved seeing her way of cutting the mango. Can't wait to try it now.
I loooove chia pudding! I use canned coconut milk, granola, blueberry preserves, 1/2 banana & a few blueberries. I love all of these ideas!
This is SO CLEVER! I am so happy I found your channel! I think I am going to do a cherry and almond chia pudding and a matcha and kiwi pudding! THANK YOU for this video!
Wow im blessed to have you in my diet i, i was googling healthy food then i bump on your vidios thank you hun you make my life become better now
I just tried this for the first time, and I love it...!! I'm happy to add chia pudding to my diet...!
Yay! Welcome to the chia pudding gang 😊
All your recipes are amazing. I really apreciate your overnight oat meals recipe and of course the chia pudding recipes too. Very delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Lisa - great idea. I would have never thought to do this but it is one way to ensure I get my chocolate pudding in and make it a lot healthier. THANK YOU!
The great thing about your site is, me being 72 yo,I can watch it over and over like it is the first time. I know I’ve seen it before, because the 👍 is glowing white! I love your site...and as a vegetarian, even your delicious soups are so flavourful even when I don’t add the meat! ❤️❤️❤️
Watching a LOT of instructional videos, online college courses, and so forth.... I have to say that You have one of the MOST pleasant, melodic, and professionally informative voices I've heard in a very long time! SERIOUSLY! Such a pleasure - so much so that I will have to look up your other videos on your website. Just stumbled across this one by accident today. Thank you and continue to have a prosperous and productive day. I look forward to your next video. (:
Warmest Regards,
Deborah Kay Neumann
Thank you so much for these recipes i never tried a chia pudding before i tried this morning and i'm in love. I will do that regurlarly!!! But i love my smoothie too, it is going to be difficult to choose. But thank you because these recipes are very Quick to make and with 2 toddlers it's difficult sometimes to watch what you eat and this is perfect. So thanks!!!
I've probably left a comment already but leaving one again. I can't thank you enough for these recipes! I have many of your videos saved on my favorites to refer back too when needed and I absolutely love your website!
Aw I'm so happy to hear that Keely :)
I made this last night with mango and coconut. I had it for lunch snack..delicious!! thank you!
Loved your hints and tips! I never found a good ratio of chia seeds to milk for a single portion, so thank you. Would love to see your take on recipes for overnight oats.
Stay tuned 😊
Lisa thanks once again for this lovely meal prep! My breakfasts are sorted! I love chia pudding and make it for breakie quite often, however never did a meal prep before... Now I will!!! Being a doctor and always on the run eating healthy becomes a luxury but with such easy and delish foods... Who wants a breakfast sandwich anymore!!!! Cheers and lots of love from India!
the most important thing I've learnt from this video - I can peel so much stuff with a spoon 😂
Peaches and Cream yeah me too 😂😂
😍😍😍😍
هههه صحيح
Me too! That tip on spooning out the kiwi was brilliant I always hack it up, and I just tried it works perfectly!
That and the fact that "cocao" is pronounced"ca-kow-ah" and not coco😂😂😂😂
I happened to click on one of your video's and since then I watched your videos non stop!!! No other channel has content with this kind of audience retention capacity! Love love and love your content! Thank you 😊❤️
You put so much efforts in your videos, I really appreciate it, especially the PDF guide that’s so helpful
Your my new favorite TH-cam. I love this! Especially for the new year such great fresh and affordable ideas. Thank you!
Thanks so much Elizabeth 😊And welcome to the Downshiftology community!
You chia pudding is a sheer delight Lisa. I so admire your capacity to inspire, simplify and plan. What a combination! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing. So glad that that frozen fruit can be used as well
I make my chia pudding with coconut cream. SO GOOD!
I do too! I love it! I add cinnamon and agave in it, then place cut kiwi on top with a little bit of jam. It is so perfect for breakfast.
Wait, what is coconut cream and where do I get it?...I say as I go to google...
Does chia pudding have the same texture or consistency of overnight oats?
Sabah Rind - can u make it with coconut milk instead? U mean cream of coconut? That’s usually canned though unless u make your own fresh? I’m going to buy fresh coconuts 🥥 and blend the water with the flesh and it will come out as a thick coconut milk.
@@Pinkrosepetals86 yes it is okay infact most people make it with coconut 🥥 milk 🥛
I just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did. I was recently diagnosed with a sugar and starch intolerance, and thinking of recipes has been difficult. I've gotten so many ideas from watching a few of your videos over the past few days. Thank you for the content!
I love how organized you are! I will make these pudding as I found a lot of chia in my closets!! I had no idea what to do with it
I tried it today, but I used cups or little mugs,I covered it with aluminum foil. I don’t have those beautiful mugs you have, not sure if I waited longer than I should,it’s in the freezer already so I guess I will find out I got so excited making it. I hope my mugs works, thank you, btw I used frozen blueberry and my newly harvested pineapple and cut it to chunks, lovely.thank you .
Great meal prep. Very organized and I love that you wore an apron. You made it look real. I see too many videos of meal preparation where the individual is very dressed up with makeup and it just seems superficial. Also great variety of toppings. 👍🏿
Glad you loved this meal prep video!
@@Downshiftology thank you for your lovely food idea
Just discovered your channel now 😍😍😍 watched 1 video and i already love it!!! These channel is made for all healthy junkies who still wants to treat themselves ♥️
I'm so glad you found me! Welcome to the Downshiftology community :) ❤️
I would pay to go to her house and say ‘WOW’ to every corner of her kitchen
It must be a studio I suppose and not her hause
U are a life saver. Teaching tastety and appealing healthy recipes
love your content! Thank you for all the work you put into this channel. Do you ever have weekend guests over? I would be very interested in knowing the simple meals you prep for overnight guests and any prep you do.
I was just diagnosed with gastritis, and have not tried chia seed pudding before. I love your recipes and will be trying all of these. You are great and very engaging. I just subscribed! Thanks!
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Teresa 😊 Can't wait for you to try your first batch of chia pudding!
I would love it if you could put together a list of at-hand grazing snacks. Sweet salty crunchy replacements for convience foods. Meals are planable but what do you grab for an instant indulge?
I really enjoy your videos. I love the way you talk, you are peaceful and sweet. Your videos are worth watching. Thanks
Thanks so much! 😊
i can't remember exactly how i found your channel, but i've been enjoying "dessert" tofu as an alternative to yogurt since i'm very sensitive to lactose! i know that soy products aren't that healthy either so i've mostly just been skipping snacks or desserts like that altogether and it's been hard. i'd never heard of chia seed pudding before, but i've always incorporated chia seeds into smoothies for the calcium, so this is such a great recipe to have stumbled upon!! i tried it with some plain almond milk, however now that i've found your recipe for cashew milk i will be trying that also. thank you so much!!!!
I am also not tolerate lactose and gluten，but there are lactose free milk，yugort or lactose free cotton cheese available in the supermaket or you may take some enzym have the special digestive agent for lactose，will make life easier .just always read lables first.and her recipe always amazaing of course～^_^
I made Chia pudding yesterday and found it is a great treat for me as I cannot have added sugar due to bariatric surgery 8 years ago, but milk and fruit sugar are fine! My fav is the coconut and pineapple.
Happy to hear this chia pudding has benefited you in so many ways Judy!
I am definitely gonna do this! I have some Chia seeds in the fridge and some almond milk and I have some fresh cherries. I'm thinking chocolate cherry Chia pudding. :)
Thank you for these recipes. I have been stress eating and this has helped me so much.
I'm so glad!
Would love to see "what's in my refrigerator and freezer" video. It's hard to keep a stocked fridge of fresh food when you live by yourself. I'm normally just chasing and eating whatever is about to go bad.
Haha, I thought it would be easier to keep track of everything in your fridge when you live alone. Living with others though, things go missing 😆.
@@abs5721 Right? LOL.
I'ts tough -- that's why I keep twp refrigerators in my kitchen area. One tries to be raw ingredients, the other tries to be dishes I've made.
I live byself too. I buy little at a time so it's stay fresh
Freezing these is a game changer for me as I am the only one in the house that eats them. thank you very much for sharing XX
I love this!!!! I made a chia pudding bar with toppings for my oldest nieces’ birthday dinner, I will definitely make this prep in the future! Thank you Lisa!
Such a great idea!!! I'll have to do that for my next party or gathering. :) x
@@Downshiftology hellow I just want to asked if this is a diet plan
My go to chia seed pudding recipes are: 1.) Jif PB and Granny Smith apples, a drop of maple syrup, pecans (Nuts going soggy is not a big issue to me.) Raisins, Dried Dates, and or Apricots. I don't add the PB til just before I eat it, and OMG! This is so freaking good! The other is mostly just dried fruit,golden raisins, cranberry raisins,pecans, almonds, occasionally walnuts, dates and apricot. a pinch of nutmeg, and or vanilla extract. I love using almond milk for this one. Havn't made either in a while, though and didn't think to take a picture.
I've never tried chia pudding. This definitely makes me want to try. Thanks for the video
Mam i am indian but i seen yor all video very nice and love you so much
Yum! Great ideas.
For sweetening, I use dates instead of maple syrup; it gives a lovely fudgey taste and texture.
Dates are also a great option for sweetness :)
@@Downshiftology
They're my go-to dessert sweetener ☺
I cannot wait to give this pudding a try! Question: How many days can this be stored in the fridge?
These can last for up to 5 days in the fridge 😊You can also freeze them as well too!
Super excited to freeze some chia puddings! Will make them this week.
Also, I received my Meal Prep book today! Super excited!
Yay! Can't wait to see all the recipes you make from the book.
Omg I waste so much almond milk each week. This would be a great way to finish it up!!!
This lady is such a blessing! Thank you for being so gracious with sharing the recipe! &&& Thank you for the tip with the nuts!
Thanks for watching! 😊
I am diffidently going to try the chia pudding looks great
Than you for your great ideas, just starting anti-inflammatory diet and found your site. So happy!
Bonjour, how do you make the chia develop in 15 min, when it takes us overnight with almond or oat milk , merci. We in love with this amazing channel :)
It depend on chia quality ...you have to change your chia
Your videos are polished and extremely helpful. Your recipe videos were a big part of my decision to pullthe trigger on the Vitamix A3300 and hopefully start a healthier eating lifestyle. Keep it up! 🔥🔥
That's amazing! So happy to hear that I've inspired you to lead a more healthy lifestyle 😊
Thank you so much for this video - I’m cheering all the way from Denmark 😄 Love you’re inspiring videos on meal prep, and all your jummy recipes 🙏🏻
And now I know how to handle the mango 😄
I'm finally going to try this pudding, I have a bunch of chia seeds that i havent used so this is perfect. Thank you!
Chia pudding is great for breakfast; nice recipe, thank you very much for your channel😊🌐🌐😊
It is awesome. Thank you for doing the experiment for us and making it easy to rid of the guesswork.
I just tried this recipe. It’s really great with the cashew milk. I’ve also freezed some but have yet to thaw them. Thanks!
Amazing! Cashew milk works great as well.
all though this is from june 2019 i came across it again. i made chia with mushed mango on a thursday and then the following week tuesday i went to eat one and it was bad already. the mango i think is where it went wrong. thank you for testing to see if you can freeze it! perfect!
I really enjoy your meal prep videos! They are so inspiring! The chia puddings look so delicious!
I absolutely love this learning a lot from your channel each day😀
Awesome, thank you!😊
Always brilliant ideas. I've never tried chia puddings before, i'll definitely do! Thank you :)
You'll definitely have to give it a try!
How can I have your recipe ingredients? kc.hotbiz16@gmail.com
How was it ?

In India chia seeds are getting really popular and we combine we put jaggery in the chia pudding along with ccoconut milk or regular milk. it tastes really good.
You make everything seem so easy.Thank you💖
Omg can't wait to get your BOOK Lisa love your you tube prep delivery programs 😍 💕 thank you!!! I love new foods ....
Peeling mangoes with a vegetable peeler, then cutting the fruit off from the pit, works best for me.
You are the best! Thank you so much for your excellent, healthy and easy recipes. You are by far my favorite TH-camr, Influencer, Downshifter and Health Promoter. Grateful, D.
Thanks so much for following along Danielle 😊
These all look amazing!! Oops I've been eating dessert chia pudding for breakfast for a while now. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Haha, no worries. You could have done worse. ;)
I used to make a large batch in the blender, but I really like the concept of single freezable portions. You gave me lots of ideas for toppings. Thank you, I really liked your video and recipes! ♥
Hi Lisa, please will you consider releasing a cookbook. I would buy it both for myself and also give away as presents ☺️
Aw, thanks so much! I would love to do a cookbook in the future!
I make a triple pudding, 3 parts leftover rice, 1 part small tapioca pearls, 1 part chia seeds and even amounts of evaporated milk and condensed milk to cover when cooking on the stove to thicken, then add some vanilla and nutmeg/cinnamon...put into the frig...you can do it with coconutmilk if you dont want to use dairy but it will be thinner
I've never had chia pudding and was afraid to try it. This video is making me take the plunge! 🤞
Oh you should definitely give it a try. It's super easy! :)
It's amazing
I just started making chia pudding a couple of weeks ago and love it! This video has inspired me to add more variety.
The last chia pudding recipes is what I wanna try cause,that’s new to me.
Hope you enjoy that recipe :)
This looks so healthy and delicious. I'll definitely give it a try. Thank you!
