My Current Breakfast Obsession

If you guys know me then you know I tend to discover a breakfast, fall in love with it, and eat it every single morning until one day I wake up and decide the obsession is over. A few months back my obsession was my Loaded Protein Oats made with egg whites and milk. Then I bopped around between a few meals for some weeks until this beauty was born … my Chia Pudding & Greek Yogurt Bowl!

It all started with my Peanut Butter Chia Pudding. I made this creamy, fiber-filled, deliciousness and realized that chia seeds were incredible. Not only an incredible part of my morning meal, BUT an incredible help to my digestion system. Seriously they should create a new saying … “2 tbsp of chia seeds a day keeps the doctor away.”

Anyway, I wanted to incorporate chia seeds into my day every single day without having to follow a more complex recipe. I started making a very simple, bare bones chia pudding. Just milk and chia seeds! Since it was so basic I had to add tons of toppings to make it taste good. I pretty much created the breakfast bowl of my dreams. It is truly delicious and I look forward to this meal everyday. So let’s break it down!!

Ingredients

The good thing about this greek yogurt and chia pudding bowl is that it really isn’t a strict “recipe.” You can add what you like, leave what you don’t! However, I have included all the exact measurements I use below for my perfect bowl in case you want to recreate it exactly.

Basic Chia Seed Pudding

  • Chia Seeds (2 tbsp) – For a whopping 8g of fiber in just the pudding alone! When you add in berries, banana, and peanut butter the bowl starts to approach 15g of fiber or maybe even more, depending on the exact quantities you use. This (15g) will be about 60% of the daily fiber requirement for women (25g) and about 40% of the daily fiber requirement for men (38g).
  • Whole Milk (1/2 cup) – I have become a huge fan of whole milk recently. I find it to be rich, delicious, and satiating. However, you can use any milk of your choice. I do recommend dairy milk for the protein boost!

Tip! The general rule of thumb when it comes to making a chia seed pudding is 1:4, chia to liquid. I typically make one batch that will last me two days. These measurements are 1/4 cup chia seeds and 1 cup milk.

Bowl

  • Greek Yogurt – Similar to using whole milk, I have started to use full fat greek yogurt and I love it. It seriously is so much better than nonfat. I have been using a couple of spoonfuls of 5% Fage Plain Greek Yogurt in this breakfast. To be extremely specific 1/2 of the single serving 5.3 oz container per bowl.
  • Banana – I add exactly one banana to the bowl.
  • Berries – Blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. These add even more fiber to this meal!
  • Chocolate Chips – I like semi-sweet
  • Peanut Butter – A big spoonful!
  • Honey – Drizzled to your liking

How To Make This Breakfast Bowl

  1. First prepare the chia pudding. Add the chia seeds and milk to a small airtight container. Combine thoroguhly. Place in the refrigerator to set for a few hours, or overnight if possible. I like to check on the chia pudding at least one time while it is setting to give it another mix.
  2. Add the prepared chia pudding and greek yogurt to a serving bowl.
  3. Add the banana, berries, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and honey on top.

Additional Toppings

  • Fruit – I love to top my bowl with sliced banana for the sweetness and berries for the fiber, but you could do any fruit you like. Apple, mango, peach, pineapple, etc.
  • Granola – Store-bought works or you could check out some homemade ones! Crunchy Honey Granola Clusters, Cinnamon Raisin Granola, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola are all great options.
  • Sweeteners – Pure maple syrup, agave nectar
  • Nuts & Seeds – Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds
