Typically whenever we make anything with PB&J it instantly makes us feel like a kid again. Mini PB&J cereal, PB&J pancakes, PB granola bars…the list goes on & on & let’s be honest, wouldn’t your 6 year old self go crazy for any of those?! This recipe for Almond Butter & Jelly Chia Seed Pudding however was the first time we made something of the sort that made us feel real grown up. Perhaps it was the almond butter or the fact that we don’t think chia seed pudding was of the norm back in the day but whatever it is, we’ve finally found a grown up way to eat this combination & we’re slightly obsessed.

For starters, this dish is loaded with nutrients. Add in the fact that it tastes incredible & you’ve sold us entirely. It’s entirely sweetened from natural sugars & is beyond filling–another factor we need in a meal because this appetite is anything but small…

One of our favorite parts about chia seed pudding is that it’s SO easy to make. You simply throw most of the ingredients in a large bowl together, give it a good mix, & place it in the fridge overnight to soak. By the morning you’ve got yourself a delicious meal. Of course we like to take ours to the next level by topping it with some delicious add-ons (see full recipe below) but that’s entirely optional (although strongly recommended). You truthfully can top it with whatever you’d like. We go crazy for our cookie dough chia seed pudding but also love a refreshing berry one & are dying to try some other ideas.
