Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill)
  • ¾ cup pineapple juice (e.g., Del Monte)
  • ½ cup coconut milk (e.g., Nature’s Charm)

Mix-ins

  • ½ cup coconut yogurt
  • ½ cup pineapple chunks, cut into small pieces, plus more for garnishing

Toppings

  • Coconut whipped cream as desired
  • Coconut flakes as desired

Instructions

  1. Combine chia seeds and liquids: In a glass, add 6 tablespoons of chia seeds, ¾ cup of pineapple juice, and ½ cup of coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping and to help the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
  2. Add yogurt and pineapple chunks: After the chia seeds have absorbed the liquids and the mixture has thickened into a pudding-like consistency, add ½ cup of coconut yogurt and ½ cup of small pineapple chunks. Mix gently until combined.
  3. Garnish and serve: Top the pudding with coconut whipped cream, additional pineapple chunks, and a sprinkle of coconut flakes to enhance the tropical flavors and add texture. Serve chilled for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened pineapple juice and coconut milk for a less sugary pudding.
  • Stir the chia mixture occasionally during the initial 10 minutes to prevent clumps.
  • Let the pudding chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour after assembling for a thicker texture.
  • Substitute coconut yogurt with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste or to increase protein content.
  • Optional: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a little honey for additional flavor.
  • Best enjoyed within 24 hours when fresh.
