Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut milk (full-fat or light, light preferred)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or nonfat, nonfat preferred)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a bowl, combine ½ cup coconut milk, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add chia seeds: Stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, whisking thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps and the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Chill: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into jars, then refrigerate. Allow it to chill and thicken for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
- Stir and serve: After chilling, stir the pudding well. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk and mix again to reach your desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings if desired, then enjoy your creamy coconut chia pudding.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Full-fat coconut milk and Greek yogurt will result in a richer pudding, but light versions reduce calories.
- Add fresh fruits, nuts, or granola as toppings for added texture and flavor.
- If you want a thinner pudding, adjust the amount of coconut milk accordingly.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
