Coconut Chia Pudding is The Ultimate Lazy Girl Breakfast

3 · Apr 9, 2025 · Ana Stanciu · Leave a Comment

A healthy breakfast sounds like such a novel idea at 9 p.m. But at 6:30 a.m.? I’m lucky if I can drag myself out of bed (and the cat from his favorite snoozing position, my feet, so I can physically do so) and put on mascara before heading out the door.

That’s where make-ahead breakfasts come to the rescue. Even if you sleepwalk through most mornings, you can still pull this together because there’s little to no work required to make this recipe. This chia pudding is a similar concept to overnight oats, in that the fridge does everything for you while you sleep.

Personally, I’m not a fan of the texture of overnight oats, so I tend to swap that for this make-ahead option. It’s creamy, good for your gut, full of healthy fats and protein, and so easy to customize with whatever is in your pantry or fruit basket. Depending on what you add, you can make sure it’s filled with even more nutrients. To make things even easier on yourself, get your toppings together the night before. All you’ll need to do is scoop the pudding, garnish and go!

With chia pudding, you’re not just getting a tasty, filling breakfast. You’re also getting tons of nutrients! Just two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 4.7g of protein, 9.8g fiber, along with calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and vitamins to cover a big part of the recommended daily intake [source].

Chia Pudding Toppings

Here are a few of my favorite flavor profiles to top this super-simple breakfast pudding:

  • Blackberries and raspberries
  • Raspberry and vanilla
  • Pumpkin seeds and chopped mango
  • Apple and cinnamon
  • Blueberries, sliced peaches and almonds (pictured)
  • Raisins, walnuts and cinnamon
  • Berries and chocolate
  • Pistachios, shredded coconut and honey
  • Banana and spirulina for beauty benefits
