Ingredients
- 1 cup strongly brewed coffee or cold brew coffee If using hot coffee, let it release its steam and allow it to cool a bit.
- ½ cup cashew or almond milk unsweetened
- ¼ teaspoon cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey use more, if preferred
Instructions
- Combine coffee with the milk, and stir in the cacao, cinnamon, and cardamom powder.
- Add the chia seed and the honey to the coffee mixture and stir until well combined.
- Taste test the liquid. If you prefer it sweeter, then add more honey to taste.
- Let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes at room temperature. Give it another stir to break up any clumps of chia seed that might have developed—especially at the bottom.
- Then, transfer the coffee chia mixture to a mason jar or bowl. Store it in the fridge until it has a nice, thick, pudding-like consistency (about 30 minutes to 2 hours). Some like the texture better after resting it for 2 hours. You can also let it sit overnight in the refrigerator (best for meal prepping).
- When ready to consume, give everything a good stir again to break up the seeds. Take out the amount you want. Enjoy on its own or top with your favorite toppings. I love a few slices of bananas, coconut flakes, and walnuts.

Notes
- Helpful Tips:
- Prepare it the night before. If you’d like your coffee chia pudding ready for breakfast, prepare it the evening before so it has time to set in the fridge.
- You can use strong or cold-brewed coffee. To achieve a richer taste, you may want to make the coffee slightly stronger than you usually would.
- To make it keto-friendly or sugar-free, swap the honey for powdered Monk Fruit sweetener. Play around with 2 to 5 teaspoons or adjust to taste.
- Store this chia pudding in an airtight container in a jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Or store the pudding in individual jars and ready to take on the go in the morning.
- The above ingredients will get you about 1 ¾ cups of chia pudding. Double the ingredients to double the batch.
