Is chia pudding good for meal prep?
Yes, chia pudding is ideal for meal prep. It can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 4–5 days, making it perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks. These Mini Egg & Raspberry Chia Pudding breakfast pots are especially convenient for busy mornings.
How long does chia pudding last in the fridge?
Homemade chia pudding will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For best results, add toppings like Mini Eggs just before serving so they stay crunchy.
Can I make chia pudding overnight?
Yes, chia pudding is typically made overnight. Leaving it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding — perfect for breakfast pots.
Is chia pudding healthy for breakfast?
Chia pudding is a nutritious breakfast option, as chia seeds are high in fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Paired with fruit like raspberries, it makes a balanced breakfast. This version is a more indulgent treat, ideal for Easter or a special make-ahead breakfast.
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, frozen raspberries work well in chia pudding. Allow them to defrost first or stir them in frozen for a jam-like texture as they soften overnight. This makes the recipe budget-friendly and great for year-round meal prep.
What milk is best for chia pudding?
You can use any milk you like. Almond milk, oat milk and coconut milk are popular dairy-free options, while semi-skimmed or whole milk will give a creamier texture. Choose what suits your taste and dietary needs.
Can I make these chia pudding breakfast pots dairy-free?
Yes, simply use a plant-based milk such as almond, oat or soy milk. Mini Eggs do contain dairy, but you can swap them for a dairy-free chocolate alternative if needed.
Can chia pudding be frozen?
Chia pudding can be frozen, but the texture may change slightly once defrosted. It’s best enjoyed fresh from the fridge, especially for breakfast pots intended for weekly meal prep.
Are these breakfast pots suitable for kids?
Yes, these Mini Egg & Raspberry Chia Pudding pots are a fun and colourful option that kids will enjoy, especially around Easter. Just be mindful of sugar content and portion sizes for younger children.
Can I make this recipe without Mini Eggs?
Absolutely. You can replace Mini Eggs with dark chocolate chips, white chocolate, or leave them out entirely for a lighter everyday chia pudding.
Method
Step 1
Add the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and milk to a bowl. Mix well, then set aside.

Mash the raspberries with a fork or blend them until smooth. Spoon the raspberries into the bottom of your serving bowl or jar. Add the chia mixture on top, either layering it over the raspberries or swirling the fruit through (depending on your preference).
Step 3
Melt the chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the chia pudding. Finish by sprinkling over the crushed mini eggs.
Step 4
Cover and refrigerate overnight to set. Enjoy the next morning. The pudding will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
