Are you an early bird? A meal prep connoisseur? Always late and never have time to make breakfast (but know you will be hangry later if you don’t get something to eat)? Here’s a new secret weapon for you: overnight collagen chia seed pudding!
Yes, another collagen infused recipe comin’ at ya! I love the benefits of collagen and love incorporating it into some of my dishes. Not sure where you can get great quality collagen peptides? Check out my favorite collagen brands: Equip Foods and Vital Proteins.
This pudding is so easy to prep at night. It’ll take you less than 10 minutes and you will be able to grab it and go in the morning. Perfect for the on-the-go type of person or those early mornings.
Never tried chia seed pudding before? No worries, we have all been there (lol). If you have never tried chia seed pudding, let this be your push. At first, I was nervous I wouldn’t like it because of the texture, but I was wrong. Once you get used to it, you’ll really enjoy the dish. After trying it for the first time, I really wished I had tried it sooner. The ingredients are simple and the taste is great!
When making chia seed pudding, I have learned to always stick to a 1:4 ratio of chia seeds and your milk of choice. Every time I have stuck to that logic, my pudding turns out perfect. I tend to store my puddings in recycled old glass yogurt or salsa containers. I recommend you do the same!
Now, let’s talk chia seeds for a minute. Chia seeds are super beneficial and are said to be one of the healthiest foods. They are high in protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Being that they are high in omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds are super beneficial for brain health. The high amount of fiber in them makes them a perfect candidate to benefit the gut. They are also packed with antioxidants and other nutrients, like calcium, that can support strong bones. Saying they are a superfood is an understatement!

So, with the combination of chia seeds and collagen, this recipe is a bundle of absolute health. It’s bound to keep you full for quite a bit. You can add any toppings you would like: fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. My favorite variation is to add bananas, peanut butter, granola, and coconut flakes. Give it a try!
