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!

I love this! Neapolitan ice cream has always been my favorite, but now I can eat a healthier version for breakfast!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Katie, I'm glad you like it!
Gina says
I'd love to try this,but was just curious to know how many carbs this would have per serving? I couldn't find it posted in your recipe. Thank you in advance for your reply
Willow Moon says
It was a conscious decision not to have a nutrition plugin on Create Mindfully. When I was counting macronutrients on a vegan keto diet I found that when I used different brands I got very different results. I would hate to show nutrients that messes up someones state of ketosis.
jessica says
yum, i love this idea. can't wait to try it!!
Razena says
This looks so delicious! I made strawberry chia jam a few weeks ago but was quite disappointed at the sourness. I think it was too early in the season for sweet strawberries.
Willow Moon says
If that ever happens again, you could always add more sweetener. Also, frozen is a good way to go because they pick the fruit when they are ripe.
Kate says
This looks and sounds so delicious. I still have yet to try chia pudding, but it looks amazing. I have no excuse-I need to try this!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Kate, you should definitely try it! And if the texture isn't your thing, you can always blend the mixture for an even creamier texture!
Gunjan says
