This easy chia pudding recipe is the perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that takes just 5 minutes to prep. All you need is milk, chia seeds, yogurt or protein powder, and a touch of sweetness. As it chills, the chia seeds magically transform into a pudding-like texture while adding a boost of fiber, omega-3s, and protein. Plus, you get to customize it with your favorite toppings!
