A creamy and refreshing Strawberry Coconut Chia Pudding made with full-fat coconut milk, fresh strawberries, and chia seeds. This no-cook, vegan-friendly pudding is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract, making it a perfect healthy breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Seeds

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Toppings (optional)

  • Extra strawberries for topping
  • Coconut flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the chopped strawberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar. Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
  3. Initial Rest and Stir: Let the chia mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping and ensure seeds remain evenly dispersed.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  5. Serve: Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir before serving. Top with fresh strawberries and coconut flakes if desired for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the maple syrup amount based on your desired sweetness or substitute with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • For a thinner consistency, reduce the chia seeds slightly; for thicker pudding, add a bit more chia seeds.
  • This pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture; light coconut milk may result in a less rich pudding.
  • Can be made ahead and stored for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
