The measurements in this recipe will yield about 10-12 small jars (4-6oz each), or 5-7 medium or large jars. They’ll stay at their maximum freshness in airtight glass jar containers for 7 days!
Ingredients:
• 1 ¼ cup Organic Chia Seeds
• 4 cups of Organic Unsweetened Coconut Water
• 2-3 tablespoons of Organic Heirloom Cacao, or Organic Carob Powder if you’re not a cacao person, *optional
• 32oz to 48oz of Full Fat Greek Yogurt, amount used is depending on if you like more yogurt vs. more chia seed mixture
• Organic Raw Honey (I use Lineage Provisions!)
• 1-3 teaspoons of Organic Ceylon Cinnamon
• Protein Powder, *optional (I use Lineage Provisions AB Complete, which features 20g of Animal Based Protein per scoop!)
• Unsweetened Organic Coconut Flakes, toasted with Ceylon Cinnamon, *optional
Directions:
PART ONE: Prepare Chia Seed Mixture
• In a large glass mixing bowl, add your Unsweetened Coconut Water, then whisk in a teaspoon or two of Ceylon Cinnamon as well as a few tablespoons of the Heirloom Cacao or Carob Powder if you’d like. Once that is well combined, add your Chia Seeds in, stirring slowly for about 1-3mins until the mixture becomes uniform and gelatinous. Cover the mixture and store in fridge for at least 6 hours to set, or overnight if you prefer.
PART TWO: Prepare the Greek Yogurt Mixture
• In a large glass mixing bowl combine your Full Fat Greek Yogurt with a few tablespoons of Raw Honey (measure to taste — I like mine less sweet so I usually only use about 2 tablespoons). I also like to add in another teaspoon or two of more Ceylon Cinnamon, and last, you also have the option to mix in a couple scoops of protein powder. Once well combined, pop that in the fridge and get ready to layer your mixtures into your jars.
PART THREE: Add to Jars
• I like to layer the hydrated Chia Seed mixture at the bottom. I typically fill the jars at least half way with the Chia Seeds, then add the yogurt mixture on top. Be sure to leave some room at the top for your lids to fully close.
• I also love to toast up some Unsweetened Coconut Flakes and toss them in a dusting of Ceylon Cinnamon then keep them in a separate jar and add them fresh. If you add them on top then store them, the coconut flakes lose their crunch.
As always, the science nerd in me loves highlighting the nutritional benefits behind clean, wholesome ingredients so keep reading beyond the recipe to learn why this Chia Seed Pudding needs to get on your weekly food prep list!
Ingredient Benefits:
Chia seeds are packed with fiber, protein, omega-3s, and antioxidants, supporting digestion, heart health, blood sugar regulation, and weight management. Their high calcium and magnesium content also promotes strong bones, while omega-3s benefit brain function and skin health.
Raw honey is a natural powerhouse packed with essential antioxidants, antibacterial properties, and immune-boosting effects. It aids digestion, soothes sore throats, and supports heart health by improving cholesterol levels. Unlike refined sugar, honey has a lower glycemic index and provides a steady energy source. It also promotes wound healing and enhances skin health due to its antimicrobial and moisturizing properties. Not all honey is created equally though…. Lineage Provisions provides 100% raw, organic, and unfiltered honey that is hand-harvested from hives in the remote wilderness, away from any human activity or commercial farms, ensuring the cleanest and purest honey possible. Rich in anti-inflammatory, gut-boosting, and immune-supporting properties, honey is nature’s most powerful natural sweetener and superfood. Lineage’s honey is rigorously tested for glyphosate and 450+ other contaminants, ensuring that it is 100% pure and clean. Unlike most honey on the market, theirs is free from pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals. They keep their honey raw and unfiltered, meaning it’s packed with natural enzymes, antioxidants, and beneficial compounds that are typically lost in processed or heated honey.
The Animal-Based Complete Protein Powder from Lineage Provisions is truly the cleanest and most delicious powdered protein I have ever used… and I’ve tried a lot of different brands over the years. I love their ‘ABC’ Protein Powder because its all-in-one Animal-Based Nutrition, making it the easiest way to get comprehensive, nose-to-tail animal-based nutrition with grass-fed beef protein, organs, colostrum, and fruit. Each scoop provides 20+ grams of protein from whole beef sources, equivalent to 4 ounces of grass-fed beef. It’s extremely gut-friendly, so no bloating, yay! Unlike most protein powders, ABC is optimized for digestion with no whey, soy, gums, or fillers, so you won't experience bloating or discomfort. The added colostrum supports gut health and immune function for a clean, digestible source of protein. Only 100% clean ingredients, no fillers ever. It’s made with only real food ingredients—grass-fed beef protein, organs, fruit, maple syrup, and coconut water—no artificial flavors, stabilizers, or sweeteners. Lineage products are tested for over 450 contaminants like heavy metals and mycotoxins. I love the boost in energy and faster recovery that this protein powder delivers…. with nutrients like Vitamin A, B12, iron, and CoQ10 from organs like liver and heart, ABC helps support energy, muscle recovery, and overall vitality. It’s great for post-workout recovery or as an all-in-one on the go. Whether it’s in a smoothie, raw milk, baking, or bone broth, ABC blends easily into a wide variety of recipes, offering complete animal-based nutrition wherever you need it.
Full Fat Greek yogurt is rich in protein and probiotics, making it excellent for gut health, muscle recovery, and weight management. It provides essential nutrients for bone health and has a low glycemic index, helping regulate blood sugar. Greek yogurt also supports heart and brain health with its combination of healthy fats, B vitamins, and essential minerals.
Coconut water is a natural hydration booster, loaded with electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and magnesium. It helps lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and support kidney health. Its antioxidants reduce inflammation, while its natural enzymes aid digestion. With a low calorie count and no added sugars, coconut water is a great alternative to sugary beverages.
Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true cinnamon,” is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory spice that supports heart health, blood sugar regulation, and brain function. It has antimicrobial properties, aids digestion, and may even help with weight management. Unlike Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon contains minimal coumarin, reducing the risk of liver toxicity.
