Whip up this incredibly creamy coconut chia pudding! It uses just five simple ingredients, is naturally vegan and dairy-free, and sets up perfectly overnight for a quick, healthy breakfast or refreshing snack. It tastes like a guilt-free dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional Toppings: Shredded coconut, fresh berries, sliced banana

Instructions

  1. In a jar or medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about one minute to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again briefly. This second whisk helps achieve maximum creaminess.
  4. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Before serving, stir the pudding well. If it is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or water until it reaches your preferred texture.
  6. Top with shredded coconut, berries, or banana slices. Enjoy this easy make-ahead breakfast!

Notes

  • For an extra rich texture, substitute 1/4 cup of the coconut milk with 1/4 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt if you are not strictly vegan.
  • If you are interested in structured eating plans, this recipe fits well with general meal planning strategies.
  • This pudding is a great alternative to commercial meal delivery companies when you need something quick.
  • To achieve a Raffaello-like flavor, add a few drops of almond extract along with the vanilla.
