Description
This is one of those toss-it-together recipes that somehow feels a bit fancy in the morning. It thickens up overnight and lands somewhere between pudding and a soft oat bowl, but lighter.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup hemp hearts
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup Siggi vanilla yogurt (or Greek Yogurt if you prefer that)
- 1/4 cup mixed berries
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
- In a jar or small container, add 1/2 cup hemp hearts, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup Siggi vanilla yogurt, and 1 tsp maple syrup (or any other sweetener of choice).
- Stir really well, making sure the chia seeds aren’t clumping at the bottom. I usually give it a second stir after a minute, once things settle.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight so the chia seeds and hemp hearts can thicken everything up.
- Before serving, give it a quick stir and top with 1/4 cup mixed berries or whatever you’ve got on hand.
- Add a splash more almond milk if it’s thicker than you like.

Such a lovely idea for busy mornings! 🌸 I like how it’s creamy yet light, and the hemp hearts make it feel extra nourishing. The overnight prep is perfect–wake up and breakfast is already waiting. Definitely trying this with coconut and banana toppings next time.
Thanks Veronica. I love to prep various of these type of breakfasts in advance and keep them handy for a busy grab and go morning. Hope you will enjoy it.
Hi, Esme. This recipe caught my eye for a couple reasons. #1- hemp. You know what I’m thinking 🙂 I’ll need to Google this one. Don’t think it’s what I think it is! And 2, simple is my style. The siggi yogurt, it that a brand of yogurt? I don’t care much for the greek version. I’ve pinned this.
Thanks for sharing.
All the best.

Yes, Siggi is a brand of yoghurt we get here in Canada, but obviously feel free to use whatever you have and prefer.
To answer your question: What is Hemp: Hemp seeds are the highly nutritious, edible seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. They are technically nuts but are commonly referred to as “hemp hearts” when the hard outer shell is removed. They have a mild, nutty flavor similar to pine nuts or sunflower seeds and are prized for their exceptional nutritional profile
