Mochas have got to be one of my favorite drinks, whether iced or hot. Their chocolatey coffee flavor hits the spot every single time. I’m practically drooling thinking about one right now.
So what happens when you take the classic flavors of a mocha and turn it into a breakfast pudding with chia seeds? You get today’s recipe!

| Vegetarian overnight mocha chia pudding |
| If you’re a meal prepper, today’s recipe is a great addition to your rotation. All you need are some jars or mugs, a blender, a cup of coffee, chia seeds, and a handful of other ingredients that might already be in your pantry. To make it vegan, omit the honey and use a plant-based sweetener instead.

| The stars of the show, chia seeds, are nutritional powerhouses. Count on them to be chock full of fiber: There are 9.8 grams (g) in 1 ounce (28.4 g). Studies have linked fiber to improved digestion and gut health. You can find heart-healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, various vitamins and minerals required for vital bodily processes, and a little protein in them, too. In general, protein + fiber = a feeling of fullness that’ll last you between meals.
