Ingredients

With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll be shocked at how easy it is to prepare delicious chia seed pudding!

• ◯ 1 cup Coconut milk lite
• ◯ 1/4 cup Water
• ◯ 1 teaspoon Extract of vanilla
• ◯ 3 tablespoons Chia seeds or white chia seeds
• ◯ 1 cup Blueberries that have been frozen (for compote)
• ◯ 2 tablespoons Water (for compote)

Instructions

1. Put the lite coconut milk, water, vanilla essence, and chia seeds in a big mixing basin first. Then, mix them all together until they are smooth.
   
   Make sure the mixture is well blended by stirring it well. Put the chia seed pudding in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or better yet, overnight.
2. Then, put the frozen blueberries and water on a medium-high heat pot. Let the blueberries start to pop open in the heat.
   After that, use a fork or spoon to crush the blueberries. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
   Stir the blueberry sauce often as it simmers for 10 minutes. Take it off the fire when it becomes a thick compote.
3. Lastly, put the blueberry sauce and the chilled coconut chia seed pudding together in half-pint jars. You can keep it in the fridge for up to five days.

Ideas for serving

Adding more toppings to this coconut milk chia seed pudding will make it a nutritious, balanced meal. I always serve the blueberry compote with this thick and creamy chia seed pudding. You can also put fresh fruit on top as an extra topping.

I like to put homemade grain-free granola or salted caramel apple granola, roasted mixed nuts, shredded coconut, or coconut flakes on top for crunch. Put these toppings in the fridge overnight and add them right before serving to keep them crunchy.

Putting Away

You can keep this dairy-free chia seed pudding in the fridge for up to five days. I like to keep the blueberry compote and chia seed pudding in the same jars.

Coconut Milk with Less Fat vs. Full Fat

In essence, light coconut milk and full fat coconut milk are the same thing. Light coconut milk is thinner and has less calories because it has extra water added to it. I use light coconut milk to make this chia pudding without dairy the right texture.

This recipe for chia seed pudding with coconut milk calls for full-fat coconut milk. To acquire the correct consistency for chia pudding, add 1/2 cup of water to the coconut milk.

Changing the Ingredients

Almond milk can be used instead of coconut milk in this chia pudding recipe, but coconut milk makes the pudding the best. I suggest using a hazelnut or almond milk creamer to make it thicker.

You can use any frozen fruit instead of the frozen blueberries. I like to prepare a really tasty compote with frozen berries and cherries. Try this strawberry chia seed pudding if you like strawberries.

This coconut chia pudding recipe doesn’t have any sugar in it on purpose, but you may add maple syrup and vanilla to make it sweeter.

Why don’t my chia seeds look like yours?

I used white chia seeds to make this Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed pudding. They operate the same way as regular chia seeds; I just had white chia seeds on hand!

This recipe for chia pudding will work with either black or white chia seeds.
