Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
This delicious, creamy Peanut Butter Chia Pudding is full of flavor. It is a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert that is also vegan and gluten-free.
Chia pudding is one of the most versatile and easy recipes you can make. It is also excellent for meal prepping since chia puddings last at least 5-7 days in the refrigerator no problem.
This peanut butter version makes an excellent breakfast, snack, or dessert, and kids love it too. You can even make it sugar-free using a sugar-free sweetener such as monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia (see my whole list of the best sugar substitutes).
If you’re not keto, you can use maple syrup or a couple of pitted dates to sweeten this chia breakfast pudding.
Nutrition Highlights
- Chia seeds and hemp seeds are good sources of plant-based protein. Natural peanut butter also adds protein and tons of flavor.
- This chia pudding is just sweet enough, without overpowering the rich peanut butter flavor.
- The chia seeds and hemp seeds add great texture.
- The nutrition label on this recipe reflects using maple syrup, so please know that it will change if you use a sugar-free sweetener or dates.
Recipe Steps
Step One
You can literally make this recipe in minutes, because all you have to do is combine the ingredients in a high-speed blender like a Blendtec or a Vitamix and process until smooth.
Step Two
Divide the pudding between four jars. You can either enjoy it right away, or refrigerate the pudding for 15 minutes to let it firm up.
Once you make the pudding, you can store it in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days.
Pro Tips
- If you want to add more protein to this Peanut Butter Chia Pudding, feel free to add a scoop or two of unsweetened protein powder when you blend it.
- You can also feel free to get creative with the toppings. Some cacao nibs on top of this recipe would be divine and would add a chocolate flavor.
- If you don’t have a blender, you can make this recipe by whisking the ingredients in a bowl. The texture won’t be as smooth, but it will still be delicious!
- You can also easily double or even triple this recipe. I would recommend, however, keeping the exact ratio of chia seeds to water, to ensure the texture and consistency stays the same.
Yes, absolutely! It is an even trade.
You don’t have to include them, but they add a nice amount of plant-based protein.

This was great! Very easy dessert. I think I’d like it better unblended, but we loved it the way the recipe was too. Thanks!

Great, thanks Lindsay! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
do you have a favorite brand of powdered or drops monk fruit? Mostly want for coffee but don’t like having erythritol in it.
can you use almond milk instead of water?
Yes, you can!
This is my new favorite healthy dessert!
