Can you tell I am a little indecisive or what?
I mean, chia pudding 3 ways? Come on, can’t I just pick ONE flavor?! Clearly I simply cannot, so I went for all three! Three fall inspired flavors that I could not be more excited about!!
Cinnamon Apple
Fig and Whipped Maple ButterÂ
Chocolate Honey Banana
All my favorites! Apple, fig and chocolate. Yum, yum, YUM!
Okok, but first, life talk! Or my like goat, goaty talk! Soo, you remember on Sunday how I mentioned that Mara had her baby, and that Tiramisu was the only one of our three goats left who had not yet delivered? Well, she finally delivered early on Sunday morning (we all thought that for sure she would go first – she was huge!). Again, I was the first one to find the new baby goats. Tara did have three kids, but sadly one of her babies was dead when I found them all. Literally the saddest thing ever. Tara seemed fine, but just seeing that lifeless little goat was really hard. It’s not an uncommon thing for a baby to die, so we knew it could be a possibility, but I hoped and prayed that it wouldn’t happen. Tara’s other two babies are a boy and a girl. The little girl has been fine since I found her, but the baby boy has needed some help. I spent a lot of time on Sunday helping him nurse to make sure he got some milk in him. Thankfully once he started to get nourishment, he gained some strength and is doing much better now!
Feeling kind of good that I helped the little guy get there. Never did I ever think I would be handling baby goats, let alone helping them nurse and taking care of them, but I have to say, I love it!
And I know I’ve said this like more than once in the last week alone, but puppies have nothing on baby goats. Nothing.
Soo, this leaves us with a grand total of eight goats. Three healthy moms, two healthy baby girls and three healthy baby boys (aka the billies). My favorite little family is Layla and her two kids. They were the first-born, and I was the first to find them, hold them and love them, so they are just kind of special. Plus, I LOVE how protective and motherly Layla is with her kids. They eat, play and snuggle together and it’s the cutest thing ever.
As of right now the kids still don’t have names, but I’m sure Asher is going to change that very soon. I heard talk of naming them all after Harry Potter characters…
Alight, goat talk over. So sorry if that totally bored the heck out of anyone. I will try to keep the goat talk down the rest of the week, but umm, warning… that may be difficult. If you ARE digging hearing about and seeing the baby goats, just follow along on Instagram and snapchat. 🙂
SOO. I made us chia pudding! Let’s talk about that!
I dunno about you guys, but when it comes to breakfast I am a major creature of habit. Yogurt and fruit is my GO-TO and I rarely ever stray from that combo. I mean, sure I make crazy breakfasts for lunch and dinner, but in the early hours of the morning I can barely brush my hair let alone cook. Enter my yogurt + fruit.
I can’t lie, it sometimes gets a little boring, so I finally decided that I was going to make a few batches of chia pudding for easy breakfasts, or even as an easy healthy afternoon snack. I adore chia pudding so I thought this was a genius idea on my part. I really should have started doing this long ago. Chia pudding is great because you can make it on Sunday and then just let it sit in your fridge until you’re ready to eat it!
Since I have fall majorly on the brain, my pudding flavors reflect the season…
…Cinnamon Apple:Â a combo you really just cannot beat. It’s classic, and absolute perfection when topped with caramelized apples, pumpkin seeds and almond butter. Gimme.
…Fig and Whipped Maple Butter:Â words cannot describe how insanely good this flavor is. It’s all about that WHIPPED MAPLE BUTTER. Literally it’s the best thing ever, and totally delish with fresh figs… my favorite.
…Chocolate Honey Banana:Â I mean chocolate pudding for breakfast… enough said.
What I love most about these chia puddings is that they feel special. Like they could be a weekend breakfast, but yet they are crazy healthy and literally just take minutes to prepare.
Even if you’re one of those people who love your morning breakfast and cannot bear to part with it (I know my mom could never give up her artisan grain bread and hot chocolate/cacao, and I do have to say, I love my yogurt!), these make really great afternoon snacks!

Chia pudding perfection, right? Thinkin so! 🙂
PS. If you think figs aren’t really your thing, I HIGHLY recommend at least giving them a try. If then you truly do not like them, dates, pears, apples and bananas will all work in their place.
The presentation and toppings for these are so so fabulous!!!! Who knew chia pudding could be so exciting?!
And, I agree about baby goats being the absolute cutest!!!
But, I am sorry to hear one of the goats didn’t make it:( That is a hard thing to find and see.
Yes it is a hard thing to see, but at least we have a bunch of healthy ones! Thanks os much Maria!
These are GORGEOUS!! I want every single one, but especially all of that sauteed apple/pumpkin seed action. Ohmygoodness. Yes.
Thanks so much Chelsea, so happy you are loving these!!
These look SO GOOD.
Thanks so much Kate!
I was looking at the recipe for the Banana Chocolate chia pudding and noticed the ingredient list calls for dates but the recipe doesn’t include them in any of the steps. Can you please clarify? Thanks
Also, the apple cinnamon one lists maple syrup in the ingredients, but not in the recipe. When do you add it?
Thanks so much for pointing this out, recipe is fixed! Thank you!
So sorry! I fixed the recipe, thank you for pointing that out. You just stir them in with the other ingredients. Thanks! 🙂
Ahhh cannot wait to try these!!! Random question about chia seed pudding: sometimes when I make it, the milk doesn’t really set into a pudding texture. It’s weird…I sort of thought it could be the times when I have the lid on the jar, vs. just covering it with plastic wrap or leaving it open. But even with the latter, I’ve had it not set before. I use Trader Joe’s almond milk…any thoughts?
Hey Monica! That probably just means that your milk to chia seed ratios are off, just add a little more chia if your pudding is not thickening. Let me know if you have questions. Thank you! 🙂
This is something I’d like to try, I appreciate the thoroughness of your information, the photos are really helpful.
Thanks so much Charlie! I hope you enjoy these when you get a chance to make them! (:
Looks so good but where do you find fresh figs?
that maple butter…oh wow. I love all things maple syrup. This looks so magical.
