Happy New Year! It’s that time again, time for organization and routines. Is it just me? I didn’t think so. 😉
We’ve been indulging and celebrating over the past month, and now it’s time to get back on track. For some that’s health goals, for some it’s eating habits, for others it’s organizing the home.
It just seems like December and all the ‘out of routine’ festivities brings us to a different pace of life. And now that’s it’s January–new year– it’s time to get re-focused.
You know what really sets the tone for me?
Morning routines.
Getting started first thing with a ritual that sets the pace of the day. I’m more productive, and less likely to get off track. So, being a foodie and all, it would be breakfast and coffee. 🙂 My new favorite?
Yup! Greek Yogurt Chia Pudding. You saw that coming didn’t ya. 😉 Don’t worry Berry Smoothie and Quinoa Breakfast Bowls, you are not forgotten! But today, we’re having pudding.
This Greek Yogurt Chia Pudding with delicious coffee is my go-to for breakfast. It’s filling and tasty and keeps me satisfied until lunch.
I love the make ahead option, that way I can be prepared for the week ahead. I just have to hide them from my children. 😀 Kidding! Kidding!

I crumbled up some of the belVita breakfast biscuits on top for some crunch and texture, you could also dip it in the pudding, or just eat them together. They’re SO tasty!
Coffee
Don’t forget the coffee! A very important part of the day–am I right? 😉 Where are my fellow coffee lovers? I’m loving the Silk Creamers to give me just the perfect cup! I have Vanilla, Caramel, and Hazelnut and don’t ask me to pick a favorite. I just can’t!
You can grab all the ingredients for this recipe at your local Kroger store.
Variations for Greek Yogurt Chia Pudding

Hey Chellie! I have taken pudding in many times, but this one is entirely different for me. I will try it in my kitchen. That would be very delicious.
Enjoy! It’s just a great way to add some energy to your life, while being delicious. 🙂
Where do you purchase the jars from?
Hi Chenais! I got those jars from Cost World Market. Hobby Lobby and Michaels also have different types of jars. You can also use mason jars. Hope that helps! Tag me when you make it on social media, I’d love to see it!
I’ve never tried chia seeds before, but this recipe definitely makes me want to try! Looks delicious!
I love trying new chia pudding recipes! Thanks for sharing.
Oooooh, I love Oikos yogurt!
I have an entire box of chia seeds sitting unloved in my cabinet. I love the idea of adding those crunchy belvita cookies to it for some different texture- that sounds delicious!
omg if I could wake up to this every morning, I’d be in heaven!! Your photos are gorgeous 🙂
I’ve got to try that Silk creamer!
Perfect way to start the morning!
