A quick and easy chia seed pudding that is creamy, nourishing, and topped with fresh berries. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack with an omega-3 boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (about 30 grams)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (75 grams) fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (30 g) of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of coconut milk. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute to evenly disperse the seeds and prevent clumping.
  2. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. If using lemon zest, fold it in now.
  3. Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into individual jars with lids. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. During the first 10 minutes, give the mixture another quick stir or whisk to break up any settling seeds.
  4. After soaking, the pudding should be thick and creamy but spoonable. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash (1-2 tablespoons) of milk to loosen the texture.
  5. Rinse and pat dry ½ cup (75 g) of fresh berries. You can leave them whole or slice larger berries like strawberries.
  6. Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls or leave it in the jars. Top generously with the fresh berries. Optionally, drizzle a little extra maple syrup or sprinkle some toasted nuts for crunch.

Notes

Whisk thoroughly to avoid clumps. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Stir the pudding again after 10 minutes of resting before refrigerating. Can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days. Not recommended to freeze. For a protein boost, add Greek yogurt or protein powder after soaking.
