Chia pudding tastes awesome when you it ahead so the flavors meld well. Make a batch at night, keep in the fridge for a quick breakfast, healthy snack or dessert.
Chia seeds are very versatile and are a great protein-packed addition to many recipes. There is no cooking involved in making this chia pudding. Chai seeds are basically tasteless so you can use them in any flavor combinations.
Chia seeds can soak up to 9 times liquid of their volume. Since they swell up so much, a little goes long way. A basic ratio for making Coconut Chia Pudding is to mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of liquid.
Ingredients
- Chia Seeds : chia seeds can soak up to 9 times liquid of their volume. Since they swell up so much, a little goes long way. A basic ratio for making Coconut Chia Pudding is to mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of liquid.
- Coconut Milk : I prefer to use unsweetened coconut milk. You can also use other plant based milk of your choice.
- Flavors : Since chia seeds by themselves are flavorless, you can use all your favorite . I like cinnamon powder and nutmeg powder. I also use my favorite homemade chai spice mix or pumpkin spice mix to add touch of earthy flavors.
- Sweetener : maple syrup, honey or sweetener of choice. It is optional.
- Optional toppings : Cut up fruit, nuts or chocolate shavings for topping
How to Make
In a mason jar, dump all ingredients together. Put the lid on and shake the mixture a few times to combine everything.
Once the coconut chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes on the counter.
Give it few more stir or shake the bottle vigorously to break up any clumps of chia seeds. This process ensures creamy gel like texture. Put the mixture in the fridge so it set-up nicely for 1-2 hours is ideal.
When you are ready to eat, mix everything well once more. Garnish with your favorite toppings , and enjoy.

The Chia seed pudding looks delicious and it's so easy to prepare. For me this recipe is certainly a keeper as Chia seeds are allowed in Keto diet.
