Enjoy this creamy Greek Yogurt Chia Pudding with pomegranates and fresh berries whether you're lingering with your coffee or speeding out the door. This is one breakfast you won't want to live without!
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!
Fun Facts about the Ingredients~
Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt~
I'm LOVING Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt for all it is, and all it isn't! Thick, creamy, flavorful.
- 0 sugar
- 0 artificial sweetnener
- 0 fat
- 15 grams of protein
I used Mixed Berry for the Greek yogurt chia pudding, but try strawberry or vanilla too.
Chia Seeds~
- good source of Omega-3 fatty acids
- fiber
- anti-oxidants
- calcium
- protein
Pomegranates & Fresh Berries~
- good source of vitamins, especially A, C, and E
- pomegranates have 3x the antioxidants of wine and green tea. (who knew?)
- great source of fiber
belVita Breakfast Biscuits~
- part of a balanced breakfast
- serving of low fat dairy and fruit
- 4 hours nutritious steady energy
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
- Use Vanilla, Strawberry, (or any of the flavors) in place of the Mixed Berry yogurt
- Change up the fruit. How about oranges, pineapple or mango?
- Add more mix ins, such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or walnuts
- Add shredded coconut
- Use blueberry belVita biscuits instead of Cinnamon Brown Sugar, or one of their many other flavors.
- Don't have time to make ahead? Grab coffee with your favorite flavor of Silk Creamer, an Oikos yogurt, and belVita breakfast biscuits for a quick tasty option at the last minute.
The possibilities are endless! So how about you? What's on your new January routine? And how will you set the pace of the day?

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.

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!

Where do you purchase the jars from?

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!
