PB&J lovers- this one is for you! Vegan PB&J chia seed pudding that is quick, easy, delicious and only requires 4 ingredients!

Can you tell by now that I absolutely adore peanut butter? Borderline obsession. I put it in a lot of my recipes because it’s really easy to use for cooking, tastes great and has a good amount of protein.

Regardless of how fancy I can get with peanut butter, we LOVE a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich in our household. Although, sometimes its fun to switch it up a bit while still keeping those classic flavors.

That’s why this vegan PB&J chia seed pudding recipe is perfect! It’s a nice change from a sandwich and you’re adding in chia seeds which offer a plethora of health benefits.

For one, and what I consider most important, chia seeds have almost 200mg of calcium in 3 tbsp! For a non-dairy family, I LOVE chia seeds for this reason! When added to the cup of (fortified) plant- based milk in this recipe, you’re getting a large portion of the daily recommenced calcium intake!

Chia seeds are also a good source of fiber, protein, potassium, omega-3s, antioxidants and iron! Truly an amazing brain food!

How to Make

This is really easy to make (always my goal!) and if you make these at night, you have an instant breakfast in the morning! We eat this pudding as a full lunch meal sometimes!

Organic peanut butter, organic strawberry jam (or homemade jam made from fresh organic strawberries), chia seeds and nut milk all come together for a delicious and nutritious meal. And it’s so filling! Pudding as a meal. I like it.

Simply add your chia seeds and milk to a bowl and whisk well. Refrigerate for about 25-30 minutes, or overnight, and then add your peanut butter and jelly. Mix well, and add any desired toppings. That’s it, so easy!
