Dairy-Free Yogurt Chia Pudding with Variations

For one of our many recipe contests, Kaylee Dey submitted two dairy-free yogurt chia pudding recipes. They were very similar – one almond, one coconut – so we merged them into one simple and delicious recipe.

This yogurt chia pudding is so healthy and delicious! I love it because I can prep everything the night before and just assemble it the next morning! I usually make a big batch and keep it in my fridge all week for easy breakfasts.

Keep in mind that the thickness of this chia pudding will depend on the thickness of your yogurt. Kaylee used So Delicious Greek-style, but unfortunately, they don’t make those thicker yogurts anymore. If your dairy-free yogurt is on the thinner side, you can increase the chia seeds to 1/3 cup, or even a little more.
