Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (organic black preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk (or light for fewer calories)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted almonds, chopped (can substitute walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of coconut milk. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the chia seeds and sweetener.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual glass jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens to a creamy, spoonable texture.
  4. While the pudding chills, slice 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries and wash 1/2 cup of raspberries. Prepare 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds if using. Toast 2 tablespoons of chopped almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Once the pudding is set, stir to smooth out any lumps. Spoon into serving bowls or jars. Arrange strawberries, raspberries, and pomegranate seeds on top. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and unsweetened shredded coconut if desired.
  6. Add an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top if preferred. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creamy texture. Stir the chia mixture twice to prevent clumps. Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of coconut milk; if too thin, add more chia seeds and let sit for 30 minutes. Can prepare the night before for best flavor and texture. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable.
