We’re on a chia seed kick! We recently shared the sour cream chia seed banana bread recipe and this week…it’s chia seed pudding topped with fresh grapefruit and toasted coconut, and it’s delish! If you’re not on board the chia seed train yet, let me tell you…it’s packed full of fiber and antioxidants to make a great breakfast, but technically this pudding could make a great dessert. It depends on how you look at it. These little pudding cups can be a good on the go breakfast.
When the chia seeds sit in a container filled with liquid (like milk…or a non dairy milk like almond or coconut milk) over night, the little seeds expand creating a pudding like texture. You can sweeten it up naturally with honey and top it with fresh fruit, granola…nuts…you name it! We topped these with fresh grapefruit and toasted coconut. Isn’t grapefruit so beautiful? I just love the colors!
We’ve made over night oats which basically adds oats to the chia seed pudding. That’s another great way to add even more fiber!
Chia Seed Pudding

- 2 cups milk or non-dairy milk

Instructions

Make the chia seed pudding: In a large bowl whisk the milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and honey together.
