Overcome Your Gut + Digestive Issues With Ancestral Nutrition
Chai Chia Pudding
Here is a simple, yet delicious breakfast recipe. Chia pudding is great because you can make a big batch ahead of time and just grab 1 serving quickly in the morning. I hope you and your family enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
With love from my kitchen to yours,
Kayley
P.S. If you would prefer a paleo/dairy free option, I suggest you use homemade almond milk. I have a great simple recipe here.
Chai Chai Pudding
AuthorKayley O'BrienCombine all the ingredients, except the chia seeds and toppings, in a blender and blend till fully combined. Then add chia seeds and carefully blend on low till they are evenly mixed in. Be careful not to over blend the chia seeds, which will grind up the chia seeds and not produce the same pudding-like texture. If you do not have a blender, whisk everything together very well in a large bowl.
Next, transfer the chia pudding into jars or tupperwares, 2 32 oz mason jars work perfect for me. Then place in the fridge overnight, or for at least a few hours, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the almond milk mixture and create a pudding-like texture.
In the morning, or whenever you would like to eat your chia pudding, scoop about 1/6th of the chia pudding into a jar or bowl. Top with blueberries, coconut flakes, and chopped almonds. Pop a lid on the jar and head out the door for an easy togo breakfast or sit down and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home!

Notes:
- Nutrition is based on the products I use. I provide a nutrition table so that you can quickly check to see if your food products match or so that you can easily calculate the nutrition for any changes you want to make to the recipe. I think this helps if you have very specific diet goals and/or fitness and/or health goals. I also wanted you to be able to see exactly where I get the numbers for my nutrition facts so that you can see that they are reliable and learn more about macro breakdowns of food.
- I didn’t add syrup in the calculations because I don’t use it and different people will want different amounts of syrup.
