This Tiramisu Chia Pudding is gluten free, refined sugar free, and high in protein. With the creamiest chia pudding, subtle coffee flavor, and a perfect cocoa dusting, there’s a reason this recipe went viral! You can enjoy all of the amazing flavors of the classic dessert in a no-bake, easy to make pudding that’s perfect for any time of day.

I love a good chia pudding recipe for SO many reasons! Chia seeds might not look like much but they’re packed with nutrients like Omega-3s, fiber, antioxidants, and is a plant source of complete protein. They’re a super easy way to add more protein and nutrients into your day without having to put in much effort. When combined with a liquid, they absorb and take on a gel-like texture which is the secret to such a good chia pudding. But it takes a few tricks to really amp up that creaminess to a thick, pudding consistency and I like to think I’ve mastered it 💁‍♀️

Most chia puddings use milk as the liquid to be absorbed by the chia seeds, and that does the job, but in this recipe we’re using Greek yogurt as a thick base to create an even thicker pudding! To make this dairy free, you can get the same effect with a thick dairy free yogurt. If you’re new to chia puddings, or just haven’t tried this trick yet, PLEASE do and I promise you’ll never want to make it any other way.

Because this is made with simple ingredients that also have a balance of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and carbs, it’s a great blood sugar supporting recipe to have for breakfast, a snack, or lighter dessert. It will keep you full and satisfy cravings! Each serving (this recipe is single-serve) has about nineteen grams of protein which is great for something so simple. I love meal prepping a bunch of these to keep in my fridge throughout the week so that I always have a healthier option on hand. I’ve been loving it as my afternoon sweet snack! Just prep a few jars by following this recipe for each, store in the fridge, and you have something quick and ready to grab when you need it.

Why You’ll Love This

Nutrient dense – This little pudding packs a whole lot of fiber, healthy fats, and protein that will keep you full and satisfied. We have protein from the Greek yogurt and chia seeds, fiber and healthy fats from the chia seeds, and carbs from the maple syrup. If you wanted this to be higher in protein, you could add collagen peptides or protein powder too!
Perfect for meal prep – Whether you’re having this for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, it’s the best recipe to double or triple for a few days worth. Just make them in separate jars as a single portion!
Naturally sweetened – No refined sugars in this treat because we’re using maple syrup instead. You can use any of your favorite liquid sweeteners.
Dietary friendly – This is gluten free, high protein, refined sugar free, and blood sugar supporting.

What You’ll Need

Chia seeds
Plain Greek yogurt – I always check to make sure that there are no added sugars or additives to my yogurt, it should be plain and simple! If you want this recipe to be dairy free, use a thick dairy free yogurt like this one.
Brewed Coffee – I’ve been obsessed with this Mushroom coffee by Everyday Dose (code: callabold for 40% off)! It’s coffee but with added adaptogenic mushrooms, collagen, and L-Theanine. I drink this as my regular coffee and notice it doesn’t make me as jittery!
Maple syrup – I prefer the flavor and sweetness of maple syrup in this but you can use any liquid sweetener (honey, agave, etc.)
Sea salt
Cinnamon
Unsweetened cocoa powder – This is optional for topping like traditional Tiramisu. You can also use cacao powder!

How To Make

Add all of your ingredients except cocoa powder to a jar. (Tip: I like using these for meal prep but any jar with a lid will work!)
Place the lid on the jar and shake it until everything is well combined.
Let it set in the fridge overnight.
When ready to serve, top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and enjoy!

Recommended Tools

Small jars with lids
Stainless steel measuring cups and spoons
Mesh strainer – This is an extra step but for that Tiramisu effect I like to use this to evenly coat the top with cocoa powder!
