How to Make the First Watch Inspired AM Superfoods Bowl

Step 1: Prepare the Chia Seed Pudding

In a large mason jar, combine the milk and maple syrup.

Stir in the chia seeds until well combined.

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.

Stir once more, secure the lid, and give the jar a really good shake.

Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4–8 hours until thickened.

Spoon the chilled chia pudding into a wide, shallow serving bowl.

Add a generous spoonful of homemade peach jam or your favorite berry jam over one side of the pudding.

Top with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and sliced bananas if desired.

Sprinkle generously with granola.

Step 3: Serve

Serve alongside a slice of toasted bread spread with almond butter and finished with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

It makes a simple but satisfying breakfast that feels just like dining at First Watch.

Tips for the Best First Watch Inspired AM Superfoods Bowl

• Make the chia pudding the night before for an effortless breakfast.
• Homemade peach jam adds wonderful flavor, but raspberry, blueberry, or strawberry jam all work beautifully.
• Fresh seasonal berries provide the best flavor.
• Add chopped pecans, walnuts, hemp hearts, or pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.
• For a dairy-free version, use canned coconut milk.

Make-Ahead Instructions

The chia pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Store the fruit, granola, and jam separately until ready to serve so everything stays fresh and crunchy.

This makes busy weekday mornings incredibly easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dairy-free?

First Watch uses a berry compote. Any quality berry jam or homemade berry compote works wonderfully.

Can I use frozen berries?

Fresh berries provide the best texture.
