Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding

June 4, 2019 By Patricia 17 Comments

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is a satisfying dish for your first meal of the day. If you’re like me, you might even dig into this pudding as a healthier option for dessert! I used dried apricots to pull this pudding together, and top it with a sweet sauce and crunchy almonds.

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is perfect for breakfast! Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding makes a great, healthy breakfast.

What’s for breakfast? Are you always being asked, or asking yourself, that question almost every day of the week? It’s exhausting, isn’t it!

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding to the rescue!

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is an easy, make-ahead meal. Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is a tasty breakfast option.

I’m not much of a meal prepper (I really wish I were), but this is one dish that anyone can get behind. It takes little effort to put it together, and it’s pretty amazing to have breakfast basically waiting for you in the morning!

Basically, you just mix the milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and seasoning in a bowl, then pop it in the fridge to sit and thicken overnight (or after about an hour or so).

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is easy to make the night before serving. Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is a dish you'll love!

The smooth pudding mixes nicely with the crunchy almonds and soft apricots.

This pudding isn’t too sweet, but just before serving, I top it with a sweet sauce and some crunchy almonds. I think it’s just the right amount of sweet for breakfast.

Don’t get me wrong: I enjoy donuts for breakfast every now and then, too! These (baked) Banana Donuts with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting are one of my favorites!

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is a lovely, healthier breakfast option. Make a batch of Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding for your morning meal!

Chia seeds, as you may know, are a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and protein, and they’re low in calories, filling, and energizing. I mean…hello?

These tiny little seeds plump when you add liquid to them, and they don’t have any flavor so you can use them in all sorts of dishes. Try them in my Cherry, Almond & Coconut Overnight Oats with Chia, which is another dish you can get ready the night before. 

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is a lovely dish to dig into! Wake up to Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding!

I’ve also used chia seeds to make Blackberry-Thyme Chia Seed Jam – mmmm! So good on your morning toast or drizzled over some vanilla ice cream (I’m always thinking about dessert)! 

Get ready for the age-old answer to, “What’s for breakfast” with Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding! How nice to wake up in the a.m. to something so tasty!

Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding is fabulous for breakfast! A little prep the night before yields a great dish like Almond-Apricot Breakfast Chia Pudding for breakfast!

    So unique and delicious! I almost always have dried apricots on hand but I never make anything special with them. Just trail mix or for eating out of hand or sometimes for granola. Great recipe.
