This layered acai chia pudding makes a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack! layered acai chia pudding
I’m a big fan of chia pudding, but sometimes, a plain chia pudding just doesn’t do it for me.
One of my new favourite ways to eat chia pudding is combining it in layers with a smoothie into a parfait! I love the combination of flavours and textures you get as you dig your spoon into each layer.
I’m not sure what to call it exactly…it’s some sort of hybrid between a chia pudding, and a smoothie…a choothie? I don’t know, I guess I’ll have to work on that one.

The bottom of this layered acai chia pudding is packed with acai berry powder for an extra antioxidant punch!
If you don’t have any acai, you can simply omit it from this recipe, or add any other superfood powder you have on hand. (blueberry powder would work great!)
You can also mix fresh fruit in with the chia pudding if you like too. A 1/2 cup of mashed blueberries or raspberries would be delicious!

    Really loved how this turned out! The layers made it feel like something you’d get at a café, but it was super easy to make at home. Tasted great and felt like a little treat in the morning.

  2. Jette says:

    1/4 cup chia and 3/4 cup plantmilk….. doesent it become VERY thick?? I like to soke my chia over night ?

    1. Jess says:

      Hi Jette, if your mixture is too thick you can simply just add some more liquid and mix it together until it is the texture you like!

  3. Betts says:

    Pls provide ingredients for Layer 3. An ad is blocking that part of recipe. Am anxious to try this. Many Thanx!

    1. Jess says:

      Hi Betts, Nothing blocking the recipe there is only the 2 layers! The chia pudding layer on the bottom and the berry layer on top. If you’d like you can create an only berry layer if you’d like to add a third by blending some raspberries and strawberries and a little bit of your favourite juice and pour that on top. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

  5. Natalie | Feasting on Fruit says:

    I’m not sure what name could do this beautiful hybrid concoction justice either, but I love the look of all those layers! The textural different between the smoothie and chia sounds great! It look like one of those jars you would need a spoon and straw for to get every last drop 🙂 And of course you are always throwing in the prettiest shades of pink! Love this <3

    1. JessH says:

      Thanks Natalie! I wasn’t too sure what to name them either! There’s so many layers…so some sort of chia pudding smoothie hybrid!
