A quick, easy, and healthy chia pudding bowl perfect for Valentine’s Day or any cozy morning for two, featuring creamy coconut milk, fresh berries, and crunchy toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (black or white)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries, whole
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (about 45 grams) of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of pure vanilla extract.
  2. Use a whisk or fork to mix everything well, ensuring chia seeds are evenly dispersed and not clumped together.
  3. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell.
  4. After chilling, check the pudding consistency. If too thick, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen it. If too thin, add a teaspoon of chia seeds, stir well, and let it rest another 30 minutes.
  5. While pudding chills, wash and slice ½ cup of fresh strawberries, measure ½ cup raspberries, and gather 2 tablespoons of pomegranate seeds. Chop 2 tablespoons of almonds or walnuts if using.
  6. Divide the chia pudding evenly between two bowls. Arrange the strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate seeds, and nuts on top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for an additional 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Stir the pudding once or twice during the first hour of chilling to prevent chia seeds from settling unevenly. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creamy texture. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw slightly before topping. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir and add a splash of milk before serving again. Freezing is not recommended.
