This easy Coconut Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutritious, and delicious breakfast or snack made with coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla. It’s a no-cook, make-ahead pudding that thickens overnight in the fridge to create a satisfying and healthy treat that can be enjoyed on its own or topped with your favorite fruits and nuts.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

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

  1. 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.
  2. Add chia seeds: Stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, whisking thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps and the seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
