Make this simple, creamy coconut chia pudding the night before for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack. It requires only five accessible ingredients and no cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Whisk the mixture well 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 thoroughly. This second whisk prevents the seeds from settling at the bottom.
  4. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve cold with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, reduce the coconut milk by 1/4 cup.
  • Top with fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, or sliced almonds for added texture.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free.
  • For a lower calorie option, substitute light coconut milk, but the texture will be less creamy.
