    This healthy Chai Chia Pudding is made with warming chai spices. It tastes like a chai latte but in pudding form.

    I've included two ways to make it: with and without black tea. If you want a boost of energy making it with black tea is a great option.

    This chai latte chia pudding can be eaten for breakfast, as a snack, or for dessert. It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and can be made keto by using a sugar-free sweetener.

    If you love chai flavor, try my Chai Overnight Oat, Iced Lavender Dirty Chai Latte, Chai Simple Syrup recipe, or Chai Kombucha recipe.

    Traditional vegan pudding recipes to try are my Vegan Butterscotch Pudding Recipe and my Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding Recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is simple and easy to make.
    • It is a healthy snack or breakfast.
    • It will give you a boost of energy.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Chia seeds: Get gelatinous when you add liquid.
    • Black tea: I show how to make this recipe with and without black tea in case you don't want the added caffeine.
    • Soy milk: I used soy milk, but you could use almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or your favorite dairy-free milk.
    • Chai spice mix:  Adds the warming chai flavor. I used a homemade chai spice mix. You could use store-bought chai spice or chai tea.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, dates, or your favorite sweetener.
    • Vanilla Extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Cacao powder or cocoa powder

    • Full-fat coconut milk
    • Vegan yogurt
    • Almond butter or another nut butter

    💭 Tips

    • If you are in a hurry, use a chai tea bag in place of the chai spice mix.
    • For a traditional pudding consistency, blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender.
    • Taste as you go; you may want more or less sweetener or spices.
