Whole30 Breakfast without Eggs

When you’re on a round of Whole30 what you really need are some staple quick and easy whole30 recipes that will see you through. (See the complete list of Whole30 Recipes on this site here.) No need to complicate it but variety for most people really does help. I’m the kind of girl that can be very happy eating just about the same thing every day, if it’s my favorite but if you’re the person who’s like “I never want to look at another egg again” then I’m talking to you here.

And as we know “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” so starting with a good breakfast variety can be the key to setting up our Whole30 success. This Whole30 Chia Pudding is the perfect solution to your whole30 breakfast no eggs quest in life.

Is Chia Seed Pudding Whole30 Compliant?

This Whole30 Chia Pudding is Whole30 compliant. As a result that also makes it gluten free, dairy free and free of any added sugar. It’s also vegan, keto, healthy, and best of all requires no cooking! Chia pudding is one of my favorite breakfasts to make when I want something easy to prep that is grab and go. That being said, this recipe is not intended to represent your entire breakfast. Add some protein and veggies for a complete meal.

Ingredients to make Whole30 Chia Seed Pudding

Chia Seed Pudding:

  • unsweetened coconut milk
  • chia seeds
  • ground cinnamon
  • unrefined sea salt

Toppings: (see more topping options below in the recipe card)

  • fresh strawberries 
  • unsweetened shredded coconut

How to make Berry Chia Pudding Whole30

Making Strawberry Chia Pudding is truly simple. First begin by using a pint sized mason jar. To the jar add the coconut milk, chia seeds, ground cinnamon and salt and stir thoroughly until combined. Add the lid and refrigerate the chia pudding overnight.

After refrigerating overnight, stir well and serve with slices of fresh strawberries and unsweetened coconut flakes. Eat and enjoy!

Tips for making the best Easy Whole30 Chia Pudding

  • Coconut milk – Be sure to stir or whisk your canned coconut milk so that their is no separation in the fat and water of the milk prior to measuring out.
  • Thickness – If using any milk besides a full fat unsweetened coconut milk you will likely want to add the 4 Tablespoons of chia seeds for a thicker consistency as other milks like almond milk will yield a much thinner finished product.
  • Consistency – If after refrigerating overnight your chia seed pudding is thicker than you’d like it, stir in a Tablespoon at a time of milk or water until you have achieved your desired consistency.

Substitutions for this recipe:

  • Coconut milk – I prefer using coconut milk in this recipe for both the fat content and flavor. Coconut milk yields a thicker, creamier chia pudding that I really enjoy but you can easily use almond milk or another whole30 compliant milk in it’s place. A thinner milk will result in a thinner whole30 chia seed pudding so if you are looking for thick, be sure to also add the 4 Tablespoons of chia seeds as opposed to 3.
  • Ground cinnamon – If you aren’t a cinnamon fanatic like I am, you can certainly omit this ingredient. You could also replace it with something like compliant pumpkin pie spice or the fresh inner seeds of a vanilla bean pod would be lovely!

Sweetener after Whole30

If you’d like to enjoy this recipe after a round of Whole30 but want it a bit sweeter you can add 1 Tablespoon of pure maple syrup to the mix before stirring and refrigerating overnight. Alternatively you could also drizzle some maple syrup overtop when you add your toppings.

How to make Chia Pudding Keto

This Whole30 Chia Seed Pudding is already keto! To keep this chia pudding keto just select the toppings that fit your keto lifestyle or eat this pudding without toppings as is. It’s delicious and the full fat coconut milk really helps with your fat macros.
