Reese’s Cereal Energy… Without the Junk

A cozy overnight chia pudding I didn’t know I needed

Every now and then, I create a recipe that surprises me.

Not because it’s fancy or complicated — but because one bite instantly takes me somewhere familiar and comforting.

This one?

It tastes like Reese’s cereal — the kind I haven’t eaten since my kids were little, and definitely not something I’d choose now knowing it’s basically ultraprocessed sugar pretending to be breakfast.

But this version?

This version is creamy, chocolatey (without any chocolate), peanut-buttery, cozy, and deeply satisfying — without the junk and without the blood sugar chaos.

It’s indulgent in the best way. And y’all… it’s a keeper.

🍫🥜 Honey’s Overnight “Reese’s-Inspired” Chia Pudding

Ingredients

• 8 oz Fairlife whole milk

• 4 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 scoop collagen powder

• 1 tbsp peanut butter powder

• ½ tsp sugar-free Torani vanilla syrup

How to make it

1. Add everything to a jar or bowl.

2. Stir really well (chia likes to clump — give it some love).

3. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.

4. Remove from refrigerator and give it all another good stir to remove clumps.

5. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

6. Wake up to something that feels like a treat but fuels you like a champ.

Why I love this so much

✨ Protein-forward

This clocks in around 30 grams of protein, which means it actually satisfies instead of leaving you hungry an hour later.

✨ Fiber does the heavy lifting

Chia seeds slow everything down — digestion, glucose spikes, cravings. This is one of those meals that feels gentle on the body.

✨ Nostalgia, reimagined

It hits that Reese’s cereal note without being loud, sugary, or artificial. Just soft, familiar, and comforting.

✨ Blood-sugar friendly (for me)

Balanced, creamy, and steady — no spike-and-crash drama.

Easy ways to make it your own

This recipe is endlessly adaptable, which makes it even sweeter:

• Use almond milk or another unsweetened milk if you prefer

• Add cinnamon or a pinch of sea salt to deepen the flavor

• Swap PB powder for almond butter powder

• Stir in a few cacao nibs if you’re feeling fancy

• Layer with Greek yogurt or berries if your blood sugar allows

It’s one of those base recipes you can keep coming back to — adjusting with the seasons, your cravings, or your numbers.

Honey Note 🍯

There’s something really lovely about recreating flavors we once loved — not out of restriction, but out of care.

Care for our bodies, our energy, and the lives we’re living now.

This chia pudding feels like a small act of kindness to myself.

Comforting. Nourishing. Familiar — but better.

If you try it, I hope it brings you the same cozy joy it brings me.

With love and a happy spoon,

Honey 🐝💛

P.S. If a breakfast makes you smile and supports your body at the same time? That’s not “healthy eating.” That’s living well.
