Chia Coffee Step-By-Step
Mash the Banana: Start by mashing one banana with a fork. I like to mash the bananas well so there aren’t small pieces left, but if you prefer thicker banana pieces, mash the baba as a little less.
Combine Ingredients: In a glass jar or cup, combine half of the mashed banana, instant coffee, chia seeds, and nut milk. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined.
Refrigerate: Place the jar or cup in the refrigerator for 5 minutes. You can refrigerate it for longer if you prefer. This mixture also tastes delicious and sets thicker if left overnight.
Prepare the Topping: After the chia base has been refrigerated, add the other half of the mashed banana on top.
Add Creamer: Whisk or steam the Nutpods Cookie Butter creamer until it’s frothy. Then, pour it over the top of the mashed banana.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a little instant coffee or cocoa powder on top. Stir gently and enjoy your Chia Coffee!

Chia Seeds In Coffee?
You might be curious about what inspired this delightful morning treat! Growing up, my sister and I were obsessed with Mamma Chia drinks. If you haven't tried them, they're these amazing fruity beverages packed with chia seeds that create an incredible, boba-like texture. This fall, I've been experimenting with fun coffee recipes, and that's how this Chia Coffee came to be. I couldn’t be happier with the result! The creaminess from Nutpods Cookie Butter creamer and banana adds a perfectly balanced sweetness. When combined with coffee, nut milk, and those tiny chia seeds, it’s sheer perfection. To elevate it further, I’ve been pulling an extra shot of espresso, pouring it over the chia-coffee mixture, adding the other half of the banana, and topping it with whisked cream. Now that’s what I call a Chia Coffee—a fantastic breakfast and latte all in one!
Avoid Skipping Breakfast With Chia Coffee
As a coffee lover—I know it’s easy to replace breakfast with coffee. I’m definitely guilty of that on the mornings I’m in a hurry! So, in a world where time is often of the essence, it's easy to overlook the importance of breakfast.
The Best Espresso Machine
When Noah and I got married in February—we were gifted an espresso machine. I think it’s one of my favorite things we have in the kitchen! It’s the Breville Bambino and goes on sale pretty often!
