Banana Chia Seed Pudding

This banana chia seed pudding is a creamy, no-bake breakfast that comes together in under five minutes and keeps you full all morning. Just blend a banana with chia seeds, milk, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon, then let it sit overnight in the fridge. You’ll have a healthy and nutritious breakfast ready to go the next morning.

Why This Recipe Works

• Blending the banana creates a naturally sweet, creamy base that eliminates the need for artificial flavors or excess sugar.
• Chia seeds absorb the milk and expand into a thick, pudding-like texture that holds up beautifully through the week.
• The cinnamon adds warmth and depth without any extra calories or effort.
• Everything mixes in one pass through the blender, so there’s minimal cleanup and maximum convenience.

Ingredients

• Banana. Provides natural sweetness and a creamy base when blended, eliminating the need for added sugars beyond honey.
• Milk. Creates the liquid foundation that chia seeds absorb to form the signature pudding texture over several hours in the fridge.
• Chia Seeds. The star ingredient that swells up and creates a thick, satisfying pudding consistency packed with fiber and omega-3s.
• Honey. Adds extra sweetness to complement the banana while contributing trace antioxidants for a natural energy boost.
• Vanilla Extract. Rounds out the flavor profile and makes this taste like a dessert you would actually want for breakfast.
• Ground Cinnamon. Simply Organic Ceylon Ground Cinnamon brings warmth that pairs naturally with banana and adds a touch of complexity without any extra calories.
