This Tropical Chia Pudding is easy to whip up the night before breakfast and is vibrantly delicious (and healthy!).
So, how’s eating healthy going for everyone? This is one of my favourite new breakfasts. The base is a pudding made from chia seeds, coconut milk, and yogurt … so good. And the top is blended fruit. Yes, this truly is delicious and a healthy to start your day. It’s also incredibly easy to make. The hardest part is letting sit in the fridge without eating it.
Feel free to cut this recipe in half, it will still work. Also, feel good about serving it to your kids. Full of iron, fibre, vitamins from the fruit … and they’ll want to eat it. No joke.
If you’re not into coconut or tropical flavours, adapting this recipe is great too. Try a berry purée on top or maple syrup with an apple or pear purée on top; both using milk in lieu of coconut milk. Any lactose free milk and yogurt will also work here.
The pudding will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. The purée for 2 days.
