Chocolate chia pudding topped with shredded coconut, dried cranberries, and granola. This overnight chocolate chia pudding is the perfect make ahead breakfast, especially with summer winding down and days becoming hectic with work and back to school.
I seriously need some chocolate right now.
These last couple days have been rough and so totally stressful. And unfortunately, it’s going to be like that for a few months.
Have you ever had one of those periods? Where you’re just so overwhelmed by life? How do you de-stress? Just take it one day at a time, right?
Or maybe it’s time for a vacation?
I’m a self professed chocolate addict. It’s my comfort food.
Back in college, I even had a chocolate emergency kit for all those late night study sessions.
I swear, I can give practically anything up except for chocolate. Milk chocolate in particular.
And right now, I feel like I’m in need of chocolate.
So what can be better than to start the day with breakfast made of chocolate?
Seriously, chocolate for breakfast, and it’s guilt free too!
This overnight chocolate chia pudding is creamy and chocolaty. It’s like having dessert for breakfast, and I’m definitely up for that.
You make this the night before in just 5 minutes.
When you’re ready to serve your overnight chocolate chia pudding, you can top with dried cranberries, which I always have in the fridge for salad and breakfast toppings, shredded coconut, and granola.
I used my own Honey Cranberry Almond Quinoa Granola, but you can definitely use store bought, or your own favorite recipe.
What I love most about this chocolate chia pudding is that it’s super easy to make and flavorful. You’ll be able to take this make ahead breakfast on the go to fit your busy schedule.
You can find this recipe over at SoFabFood where I contributed this month.

Delicious!! I recently made chocolate chia pudding too and have fallen in love with it 🙂
looks SO good! and I am LOVING your spoons! Where did you get those?
I get my spoons from For Such a Time Designs on Etsy
I look forward to making this easy recipe. It almost looks like bubble tea!
I hope you’ll like it! I love bubble tea too =)
This really looks good. What kind of cocoa do you use?
I just used Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder. Nothing special =)
Wowz….Awesome! Gonna try this!
I am making this tonight!!! Looks delicious!
Just a quick thought for those who might be interested:
Did you know that chia seeds come from a type of sage plant? My hubby found that out the hard way this summer. He has stomach upset whenever he eats sage or rosemary (the plants are closely related to each other). He was sick for days after eating a snack with chia seeds sprinkled on top! I don’t keep any in the house now to make sure he doesn’t accidentally ingest some again.
Your pudding looks so good, though! I have a delicious sage-free chicken-and-dressing recipe, if you’re interested. My mother-in-law created it especially for my husband one Thanksgiving. I like it better than regular dressing or stuffing! 🙂
I will try this one for sure. I have been doing oats versions, but at the moment I can’t digest anything really. So will give it a go to this one. thank you for sharing
I love the idea but not keen on granulated sugar 🙁
You can substitute with your favorite sweetener =)
Chocolate dessert for breakfast? Definitely a great idea!!!!
