My everyday go-to chia pudding recipe! It's creamy, so easy to make, and thickens up in just an hour thanks to an easy trick. This vegan, paleo and keto friendly recipe is the perfect breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk from a can
  • 1/2 cup regular non-dairy milk

    regular as in from a carton, not a can!

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
    or to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Shake up the can of coconut milk really well and measure out 1/2 cup (unless you're doubling the recipe, then you'll need 1 cup).

  2. 2

    Add to a blender with the regular milk, vanilla and optional sweetener. (see notes for how to make this without a blender)

  3. 3

    Add in the chia seeds and pulse 2-3 times in the blender to combine. Let it sit for a minute or two, then pulse again.

  4. 4

    You just want to combine the ingredients, you don't want to fully blend the chia seeds.

  5. 5

    After another minute, pulse again. This will help prevent any clumps of chia seeds from forming and will help the pudding thicken faster than simply mixing everything together in a jar.

  6. 6

    After about 5 minutes of occasional pulsing, transfer to a bowl, container or jar and let sit in the fridge for about an hour to thicken.

  7. 7

    Serve with yogurt, berries, granola & enjoy!

Chia Seed Pudding

Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are nutritionally dense seeds that will thicken any liquid you add them to. Mix them up with coconut and almond milks and you’ve got an almost instant pudding with a tapioca-like texture and gently sweet flavor. This recipe is meant for breakfast, but if you add a little honey to the seeds as they swell, it will be sweet enough for dessert. You can use either black or white chia seeds here, or a mix. The pudding will continue to thicken as it sits, so feel free to thin it out to taste with a little more almond or coconut milk before serving.
