Some mornings move faster than we expect.
This is the kind of breakfast that meets you there — already made, already steady, already waiting.
Berry chia pudding is calm, simple, and quietly supportive. No stove, no rushing, just something ready when the morning starts asking for your attention.
What This Morning Looks Like
This is a make-ahead morning.
The kind where you still want something thoughtful, even if you don’t want to think yet.
Cool, creamy, lightly sweet — and prepared ahead so the day can begin without friction.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup milk or non-dairy milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
Optional add-ins
- Honey or maple syrup, to taste
- A spoonful of yogurt
- Extra fruit or chopped nuts
How I Make It
- In a small jar or bowl, stir together the chia seeds, milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thick.
- Stir before serving and top with berries.
Add any extras you like and enjoy.
Yum’s Note
This breakfast works because it’s already handled.
One less decision, one less task, one calm moment before the day gets loud.
Sometimes peace starts the night before.
— Yum 💛
