    You can customize this chia pudding recipe with any flavors you like. The based peanut butter flavor goes great with so many additions like bananas, berries, my homemade vegan caramel, or even my vegan chocolate sauce!

    Ingredients

    Only a few simple ingredients are needed to make this peanut butter chia pudding recipe:

    • Dairy free milk
    • Dairy free yogurt 
    • Chia seeds
    • PB2 powdered peanut butter (but you can see the notes on how to use regular peanut butter)
    • Vanilla extract
    • Salt
    • Sweetener

    You can also add toppings like bananas and caramel to give it an added layer of flavor!

    The magical ingredient in this recipe is PB2 Peanut Butter Powder. What is this you ask? Glad you did!

    I fell in love when I discovered cashew powder because it helped me to create Butternut Squash Pasta and Creamy Vegan Potato Soup.

    Peanut butter powder is similar, made by pressing out the majority of the oil which greatly reduces the calorie and fat content giving it 90% less fat and 70% fewer calories than classic peanut butter, while still giving you tons of plant-based protein!

    Working with a fine powder instead of peanut butter makes it so much easier to incorporate in a wide variety of recipes! Mix it into your smoothies, create snacks, desserts, and baked goods, or simply mix with water to create a peanut butter spread.

    Easily adding peanut butter flavor to so many recipes is amazing, but it gets even better! PB2 peanut Butter Powder is gluten-free, vegan, kosher, and free of preservatives.

    It's so easy to make this chia pudding recipe, here are the simple steps to take:

    1. Measure the ingredients into a bowl.

    Preparation Tips

    For the best peanut butter chia seed pudding make sure to check out these helpful hints:

    • The creamier the milk the more rich and creamy the end result will be. Cashew milk is good for this.
      • You can also make chia pudding with coconut milk, almond milk, or any other dairy free milk of choice.
    • Yogurt can be left out but it really helps making it creamy.
    • Powdered peanut butter keeps the fat and calorie content lower. You can substitute it for 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
    • To avoid clumping whisk everything as quickly as possible. You can also mix everything but the chia seeds and then add them in last.
    • If you're not a fan of the texture of chia seeds, blend everything in a high speed blender.
    • You can leave it out, but for a sweeter flavor mix in your favorite sweetener such as maple syrup.

    Make Ahead Tips

    • This pudding can be made completely up to 24 hours in advance.
    • You can also mix up everything but the chia seeds and flavor additions and store for up to 3 days.
      • Just stir in the seeds at least 30 minutes before serving.

    Common Questions

    Is Chia Seed Pudding bad for you?

    Ingredients
     
     

    • ¾ cup dairy free milk of choice , the creamier the milk the richer the flavor will be
    • ¼ cup plain dairy free yogurt , see note
    • ¼ cup chia seeds
    • 2 tablespoons PB2 powdered peanut butter , see note
    • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener of choice , I used maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt

    Optional toppings:

    • Sliced bananas
    • Homemade caramel
    • Chopped nuts
    • Whipped cream
    • Peanut butter , or powdered peanut butter mixed with a little milk in a 2:1 ratio

    Instructions
     

    • Add all ingredients into bowl.
    • Whisk well to combine. Do this quickly so it doesn’t clump. You can also whisk everything but the chia seeds, then slowly add the chia seeds in while whisking to prevent them from clumping.
    • Allow to set in the fridge at least 30 minutes, you can also make this the night before.
    • Top with what you prefer and enjoy!

    Notes

    • You can omit the yogurt but it gives a creamier end result. You can also use a thick and creamy milk like coconut milk from the can to get the same creamy flavor.
    • The powdered peanut butter helps give this recipe a delicious yet lower fat and calorie option. If you do not have it, you can use 2 tablespoons peanut butter.
