Note
This banana chia pudding thickens as it chills, creating a naturally sweet, creamy texture similar to banana bread. For best results, whisk well when mixing and again after 5–10 minutes to prevent clumping. If it becomes too thick, simply stir in a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Made with banana, chia seeds, and Greek yogurt, this healthy banana chia pudding is high in fiber and a great option for meal prep, breakfast, or a wholesome snack.
