Now that Valentine’s Day is over, I’m clearing out yet another stash of candy and getting back to basics here: heart-healthy recipes. Can I also just say Valentine’s Day is like the second Halloween… SO MUCH CANDY!!!! Ok. Thanks for letting me shout and vent through my keyboard.
A few days ago, I shared the 411 when it comes to chia seeds and oatmeal. You can catch up if you missed it HERE. As promised, I’m back with a few heart-heathy recipes that include the two superfoods I cannot get enough of: oatmeal and chia seeds!
Besides texture and size, the main difference when it comes to prepping overnight oats and chia seeding pudding is in the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid.
Overnight Oats:
- Uses more liquid than dry ingredients
- Typical ratio is 1/2 cup liquid to 1/3-1/2 cup dry oats
- The extra liquid causes the oats to soften and expand overnight
- Liquid choices include milk, water, almond or oat milk
- Dry ingredients are rolled or quick oats
Chia Seed Pudding:
- Uses more dry than liquid ingredients
- Typical ratio is 1/4 cup chia seeds to 3/4-1 cup liquid
- The chia seeds absorb and gel up the liquid as they sit
- Liquid choices are similar to overnight oats – milk, almond or oat milk

These four recipes were created, tested, and approved by my colleague and friend Ashley. Thank you Ashley!!! As for me and the segment I recently did with WILX Studio 10 on both chia seeds and oatmeal, you can see from this picture my mix-in’s were pretty simple.
And that’s a wrap! Have I convinced you to try some chia seed pudding yet?!

Such a great reminder that heart-healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated — and I love that the kids can actually help make these. Overnight oats and chia pudding are staples in our house too, especially during swim season. They’re easy to prep, full of steady energy, and perfect for busy mornings.
For families with competitive swimmers, they can also be a smart option when planning pre-race fuel. If you’re wondering how to adjust portions or ingredients for meet day, this guide on breaks it down in a really practical way.
Thanks for sharing such simple, heart-healthy ideas that actually fit into real life!
