Coconut Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutritious, and satisfying dish made by soaking chia seeds in coconut milk. Packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, it’s perfect for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or even a light dessert. This versatile pudding is easy to make, customizable with different toppings, and supports heart, digestive, and overall health.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chia seeds

  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess or light for fewer calories)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh fruits (berries, mango, or banana)

  • Toasted nuts or seeds

  • Shredded coconut or coconut flakes

  • Cocoa nibs or dark chocolate shavings

  • Granola or muesli

Instructions

  • Mix the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt (if using).

  • Let it rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 5–10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.

  • Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like texture.

  • Serve: Stir the pudding before serving. Add your favorite toppings such as fruits, nuts, or granola for extra flavor and texture.

  • Store: Keep leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3–5 days.

Notes

  • Adjust texture: If too thick, add more coconut milk; if too thin, let it chill longer or add more chia seeds.

  • Sweetness control: Taste before chilling and adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup as desired.

  • Diet-friendly options: Substitute honey with stevia or monk fruit for a low-sugar or keto-friendly version.

  • Flavor variations: Add matcha, cocoa powder, cinnamon, or fruit purées for different flavors.

  • Storage: Store in airtight glass jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks.
