A healthy, easy, and delicious chia pudding bowl featuring fresh berries and creamy coconut milk, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any wholesome dessert craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • Small handful fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk, 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds thoroughly to avoid clumps and ensure even distribution.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. If short on time, chill for at least 2 hours, stirring once halfway through.
  4. While pudding sets, wash and slice strawberries. Prepare raspberries and blueberries. Toast coconut flakes in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  5. Once pudding has thickened, stir gently and divide evenly into 2-3 serving bowls or jars.
  6. Top each serving with fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, toasted coconut flakes, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  7. Serve chilled. If pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of coconut milk before serving; if too thin, add a teaspoon more chia seeds and chill for another 30 minutes.

Notes

Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free twist. Maple syrup can be swapped with honey. For best texture, chill overnight. Toast coconut flakes for extra crunch. If pudding is too thick or thin, adjust with coconut milk or chia seeds accordingly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended.
