Tiramisu Chia Pudding

This Tiramisu Chia Pudding is proof that a nourishing breakfast can still feel like dessert. Made with Greek yogurt, chia seeds, coffee, cocoa, and a touch of sweetness, this recipe delivers a satisfying balance of protein and fiber to help keep you full, energized, and satisfied throughout the morning.

Starting the day with a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast is something I consistently see make a difference for my clients — from improved energy and focus to fewer cravings later in the day. With about 25 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber per serving, this no-cook, make-ahead option is perfect for busy mornings when you want something quick, easy, and genuinely enjoyable. It’s no surprise this was one of my most shared recipes last year.

Tiramisu Chia Pudding

Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt*

• 1/3 cup coffee (cooled or room temp)

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1+ tbsps maple syrup*

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp cocoa powder

• a few shakes of cinnamon

*Yogurt & sweetness note:
You can use plain Greek yogurt, but because this recipe includes coffee and cocoa powder (both slightly bitter), you’ll want to add extra sweetness. I prefer starting with a vanilla Greek yogurt (regular or zero-sugar) for best flavor. If using plain yogurt, add additional maple syrup or mix in a mashed banana to balance the tartness.

Instructions:

1. Add 3/4 cup Greek yogurt and all other ingredients to a small bowl/container/mason jar.

2. Stir to combine. Make sure the chia seeds are not settled at the bottom. Taste and add additional maple syrup if you would like a sweeter flavor.

3. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

4. When ready to eat add remaining 1/4 cup Greek yogurt on top and dust with a very small amount of cocoa powder.
