A Pomegranate Chia Seed Pudding is the perfect healthy, vegan and gluten-free breakfast or dessert. It’s super filling and easy to make!
Chia puddings are such an amazing breakfast because they are super filling and easy to make. I always make them the night before and enjoy them in the morning. It’s so great to know when you wake up and your breakfast is already waiting in the fridge for you. I always feel full of energy after eating a chia pudding, so they are the perfect post-yoga breakfast for me. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they are a great source of iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium and many more vitamins. They’re delicious and good for your body and you can top the chia pudding with any fruit you want!

I love chia pudding, so I was instantly drawn in! But then I started reading and you made POMEGRANATE MILK!!! That is such a fantastic idea! I’m not even a big fan of pomegranate, but I’ve gotta try this <3
Bianca
Haha, so glad you like the idea of pomegranate milk! :) I love breakfasts that I can make the day before so I don’t have to deal with it in the morning, so chia puddings are always an excellent choice.

So pretty! Love it. And pomegranate milk — genius. I make a pomegranate smoothie sometimes, but haven’t thought to isolate it into a milk. So trying this! :)
