The Overnight Chia Bowl Breakfast wins Best-in-Category for easy-to-make, easy-to-eat, and easy-to-digest breakfast. Eat it hot or cold!
Making Overnight Chia Pudding with Chia Seeds the night before helps your morning go smoothly. Just reach in the fridge and it’s ready to go serve it either hot or cold depending on the season. Hands down, this was the favorite recipe of our group of Cleansers. It was the most talked-about recipe, everyone loved it. I would even venture to say, that it is the one recipe most people said they would continue to make even after the cleanse was complete.
Why is it so good? Easy Answer.
This recipe is simple to make and prep the night before and have on hand for 3 meals. So for 3 days, you don’t have to worry about what you will eat, just grab and go. After the third day, prep your next three days and have it ready.
This Overnight Chia Seed Bowl Recipe is the ultimate take on a PB & J Sandwich. It’s made with almond milk, chia seeds, and a little sweetener of your choice. It’s a healthy breakfast or snack loaded with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Of course, make it your own by adding any nut butter, fresh berries, maybe a little grain-free granola to top off this yummy deliciousness! Eat it hot, or cold. Prep up to 3 serving and keep it in the fridge in a Ball Jar or a storage container with a lid. Choose to recreate the taste of a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, or get creative with what you want to add. Blueberries are so good! Add strawberries, or peaches when they are in season.
Chia Pudding, Chia Bowl, or put it in your Smoothie. Your Choice!
Chia Seed Pudding is very versatile and it’s super healthy. I love Chia Seed Bowls for breakfast because it is filling, helps me with weight loss, and gives me a protein boost to take through the day. Many times, I add nuts, granola, and fresh mint to finish off my bowl, jar, or smoothie in the morning.
