Easy Creamsicle Chia Pudding recipe. Great for meal prep, this healthy gluten free breakfast idea can be made vegan. Only 5 ingredients.
Here we are. The start of the New Year.
Who else has a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier? 🙋
Let’s start this healthier food journey together.
I think I say that I want to eat healthier every year, and it lasts me all the way to the beginning of February. Although a lot of the times, I don’t make it past January.
But, this year I have been very inspired by my mother-in-law and my sister. While I have been in Vancouver visiting them, they have made SUCH good salads that I know I will be trying as soon as I get back to Chicago.
Because right now, the only salad I ever make is my Kale and Quinoa Salad. Even though that one is AMAZING, I think I need to diversify.
But until then, I might be making this Creamsicle Chia Pudding as a healthy breakfast.
What do you need to make this Creamsicle Chia Pudding?
It’s so easy to make. All you need is:
- milk
- chia seeds
- stevia
- vanilla extract
- orange
That’s it!!
I used blood oranges for the orange in this recipe, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
This recipe is also good if you are doing a sugar free diet this year. Me and John do a sugar free week every couple of months, so you can bet that I will be making this a lot in the New Year.

Creamsicle Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 packet stevia
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- zest of 1 orange
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients, and refrigerate. Over the course of the next half hour, whisk the pudding every 10 minutes as it begins to thicken. This prevents the chia seeds from clumping. After the half hour is up, keep refrigerated for 3 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, top with desired toppings.
Notes
- If you wanted to bring this breakfast to work, mix everything in a mason jar and just grab and go in the morning.
What a delicious way to use chia seeds. I can’t wait to give this a try.
I hope you do! It’s one of my favourite recipes 🙂
Yes, something light, easy and delicious. Just what breakfast meals should be.
Agree 😉
Quick and easy – perfect for a health breakfast. I made this for my daughter who loves chia seeds and she loved it! Thanks for sharing.
Yay! So glad your daughter loved it 🙂
This is a delicious flavour combination, and a well-needed sugarfree breakfast option. Count me in on the “eat healthier” resolution. I really went above and beyond this Christmas, I need to eat less! Thank you for the inspiration for a delicious dish that is much less guilty than my usual breakfasts have been!
I also went above and beyond this Christmas haha. 😉
I love chia pudding and this looks so good! Oh, and yeah, perfect timing too since it’s January – the month we promise ourselves to start eating more healthily!
Agree!! I need to get into eating healthier too!
