Cereal Milk Chia Pudding with Lucky Charms Crumbs.
Or, how much can I possibly embarrass myself.
With classy breakfast with trashy cereal. Together. In one bowl! It really is magically delicious.
Three lucky charms posts in three years may be a bit much. This might be it. I feel as if I’ve exhausted the lucky charms options.
First, boozy lucky charms milkshakes. How can you say no?
And then, one bowl whiskey chocolate cake with lucky charms. Never saying no, ever.
Both of them are made with booze, so I figured it was time to make something that was (more) acceptable for breakfast.
It’s no secret that I’m a ridiculously huge chia pudding fan. I’ve shared a million versions (or, um, five) here on the site and have made even more in my kitchen. I love the texture, I love how satisfied I am after eating it, I love how much energy it gives me and I LOVE the variety of flavors that can turn into chia pudding.
So… why not!?!
I want to frame this marshmallow picture. Maybe make it my phone background. I liked lucky charms when I was growing up but it wasn’t my all time fave (that title goes to cinnamon toast crunch) – however, the marshmallows are just adorable. So bright and artificially neon.
They’ve totally changed them though. Right? I finally bit the bullet and bought the marshmallow-only version from amazon (you guys have been telling me about this for YEARS) and those marshmallows look much more like the old school lucky charms from my tween days. They are oddly shaped, definitely don’t have rainbows and certainly aren’t anywhere near as BRIGHT. I mean, some of these new marshmallows look downright fluorescent! Mmmm. Delicious. Radioactive marshmallows.
Delicious in moderation for sure. Once a year, we can do this.
Anyhoo.
I’ve been fascinated with momofuku’s cereal milk for years. The true version is made with cornflakes and is super delicious. It’s just special, and that’s saying a lot considering I NEVER drank the milk out of the cereal bowl. Not then, not now, not ever.
Probably in the minority, but I just couldn’t do it.
But I CAN drink some cereal milk that’s made to just be cereal milk. I make no sense in life, I know.
For all you regular cereal milk drinkers, like pick-up-the-bowl-every-morning-after-cereal and chug it down, you’ll probably love the flavor. It’s slightly sweet from the cereal steeping and has just enough flavor to enhance something that normally would call for sweetener. With my favorite coconut almond milk, it’s fantastic. I still like to add a touch of honey here, but the chia pudding only requires three “real” ingredients: cereal milk, honey and chia! Plus a little vanilla extract, if you’d like.
For those of you who are weird about texture? This could certainly be your worst nightmare. Not only do we have the bubble-like chia pudding, but we have those styrofoam-like, squeak-between-your-teeth marshmallows. Apologies! Have some cinnamon toast crunch.
Now all I want to do is make one massive layered lucky charms chia parfait. Maybe sneak in some banana soft serve. Some coconut whipped cream. Some sprinkles! A chocolate drizzle. Some peanut butter?
Okay I’ll stop.
Cereal Milk Chia Pudding with Lucky Charms Crumbs
Ingredients
lucky charms cereal milk
- 3 cups milk, I used coconut almond milk
- 2 cups lucky charms cereal
chia pudding
- 2 cups cereal milk
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup lucky charms cereal, some crushed, some left whole
- 1 banana sliced
- fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
lucky charms cereal milk
- Place the cereal in a large bowl and cover with the milk. Place a bowl or plate over top of the cereal so it’s all pressed underneath into the milk. Let it sit and steep for 45 minutes. Strain the cereal out of the milk. Now you have cereal milk!
chia pudding
- Stir together the milk, chia seeds, vanilla, honey and salt in a large bowl. Cover and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, stir and separate any clumps. Cover again and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, scoop out some of the chia pudding and place it in a bowl or jar. Cover with sliced bananas (or other fruit of yourself), some crushed or whole lucky charms, and a fresh mint leaf. Devour!

You are killing me!
Looks amazing. Radioactivity and all.Â
This is TOO fun of a recipe!
Love this idea! Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to drink the cereal milk out of the bowl. Aside from being delicious, I wonder if the extra calcium might have helped me grow to be taller than 4’11”? Even hitting five-foot would have been nice! Ah, well.Â
love this! I really need to make cereal milk just to have as milk, just saying. would be so good in oatmeal! gosh I miss being a kid eating lucky charms!

This looks amaaaazing. Â lucky charms are still my go-to cereal :)Â

That marshmallow picture is giving me LIFE
Omg! This is so fun!!! I always did love Lucky Charms! All the marshmallow goodness options!!!Â
totally relating to you in this post. Â fave cereal award goes to cinnamon toast crunch, although I won’t deny the love I have for lucky charms. Â I was never (ever) one to drink the milk out of the cereal bowl, but cereal milk so intrigues me. Â what a cool recipe, too! Â I’ll forgive ya for 3 lucky charms recipes in 3 years. Â you have a reputation to uphold. Â happy weekending!
I never drink the milk after eating the cereal either! Can’t do it. Too weird.
This just put a smile on my face.
This is srsly just SO PRETTY. I’ve never even eaten Lucky Charms (not because I’m virtuous but because the cereal doesn’t exist over here in West Australia) but the colours are just mesmerising!!
I am definitely going to make this gorgeous chia pudding, maybe with some cornflake cereal milk or another substitute… SO EXCITED.
GAME CHANGER.

This is awesome and hilarious. I love how you combine trendy food like chia seed pudding with lucky charms! You are so creative and fun, this is why I have loved your site for years and years.Â
I like this so much. It is so healthy and boost up our day as breakfast meal! I’m gonna make this! Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing – I’m totally on the fence about chia pudding but have serious nostalgia when it comes to cereal milk. Will definitely need to try this!
Kinda like when no one’s looking, I make really weird mixed up foods that no one would eat except me.
Like when I smear Nutella on a piece of cheese with a cucumber……well my kids see me do it sometimes……..ha,ha,ha!
You really make mixing foods work, that’s why I like your blog.
yep…. using this as a reason to buy lucky charms. YUM

This is GENIUS! I loved just drinking sweet milk after a big bowl of cereal, especially if the cereal was super sweet with honey and cinnamon! I have to try this with almond milk and mixing it in peanut butter-flavored cereal!
I made this last night following the instructions exactly EXCEPT I only had half the chia seeds necessary, so the recipe came out pretty thin, as I knew it would. But otherwise it was great! I used 1 cup whole milk and 2 cups almond milk and omitted the garnishes. The responsible adult in me wouldn’t let me buy a whole box of Lucky Charms, so I bought one of the individual cups (on sale for $1!) and it was almost exactly the right amount for the recipe.

Nothing can be bad about Lucky Charms! Have you ever considered making a cheesecake with Lucky Charms as the crust instead of the regular base?Â
