Chia Seed Pudding with Berry Compote is a perfect meal prep treat for breakfast, along with lunch, or even to enjoy as a dessert. This post is sponsored by BJ’s Wholesale Club.
Chia Seed Pudding is one of our favorite easy-to-make treats. They’re great for meal prep for breakfast, to throw in the lunchbox or even served as a light dessert. It’s similar in texture to pudding, like tapioca or even rice pudding.
You can go crazy with the flavors or keep it simple. We love layering it with berry compote on the bottom and fresh berries on top.
CHIA SEED PUDDING INGREDIENTS
- Wellsley Farms Chia Seeds
- Wellsley Farms Organic Milk
- Wellsley Farms Maple Syrup
- Wellsley Farms Organic Triple Berry Blend

HOW TO MAKE CHIA SEED PUDDING
Combine the chia seeds with the milk, vanilla, and maple syrup in a bowl.
Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes and then mix to break up the chia seeds.
Place back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Once the chia seed pudding is set you can layer with the berry compote and enjoy.
We love buying fresh and frozen produce at our local BJ’s Wholesale Club. These ingredients are some of the staples we always have in the house!
HOW DO I MAKE A BERRY COMPOTE?
It’s super simple, just add fresh or frozen berries to a saucepan and then bring them to a boil, mash them using a potato masher and add sweetener if needed. We like to reduce until the berry mixture is thicker and almost halved.
CAN I USE OTHER FRUIT?
Of course! We love using pineapple, mango, coconut, bananas, you could even make some cinnamon apples as a topping, yum!
CAN I PREP THIS IN ADVANCE AND HOW LONG IS IT GOOD FOR?
Absolutely, you can prep this the night before, it needs at least 2 hours to set. We like to use it within 3-4 days. This recipe makes 4 servings.
WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE TEXTURE?
If you don’t like the texture you can blend it up after it’s gelled and enjoy it more whipped. We recommend a high-speed blender for this.
MY CHIA SEEDS DIDN’T GEL
If they’re still in-date and your chia seed doesn’t gel, we recommend blending in a smoothie or tossing.
