Neapolitan Chia Pudding

This healthy Neapolitan Chia Pudding can be eaten for breakfast or dessert. It is easy to make and great for on the go!

Make Ahead

After I made Strawberry Chia Jam, then a Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia Pudding, I knew a Neapolitan Chia Pudding was in order. Three flavors of chia pudding in one jar – I’m in!

One of the great things about chia puddings is that you can make them the night before. They are quick and easy to make – perfect for weeknights.

Overnight oats are great for making ahead also. I fell in love with them when I made some Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats for a overnight trip out of town.

Portable

Chia pudding is portable, which is another bonus. Just like my overnight oats, they are great for taking on a trip.

Breakfast can be the hardest meal of the day for a vegan on a road trip. I no longer rely on restaurants because I usually fill up on a fruit bowl and hash browns, only to be hungry an hour or two later. Not to mention I usually need a nap afterwards.

So now I make chia pudding or overnight oats beforehand, and am all set for the road.

Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla – the Perfect Combination

Whoever came up with Neapolitan ice cream was pretty smart, since strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla go so well together.

Neapolitan ice cream is not something that I have eaten very much in my lifetime – before or after becoming vegan. I actually like this chia pudding version better, because when I eat vegan ice cream, it’s usually chocolate.

I have been really into chia puddings lately. There are great for breakfast or dessert. You can’t get much more versatile than that!
