This lemon poppy seed chia pudding offers a bright, simple breakfast that takes only a few minutes to prepare. Chia seeds soak overnight and turn into a thick pudding with a soft, spoonable texture. Lemon zest and juice bring sharp citrus flavor, while poppy seeds add a subtle crunch. A swirl of vegan lemon curd gives the pudding a creamy, slightly richer layer.

In this recipe, Romy London uses coconut yogurt as the base, which adds body and gentle sweetness. Chia pudding has become a popular breakfast because it requires little effort and delivers steady energy. The seeds provide fiber, omega-3 fats, and plant protein. That combination helps keep the dish filling without needing to make a big meal. The lemon and poppy seed pairing also echoes the flavors of a classic lemon cake.
