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, there’s nothing be feeling good about serving it to your kids. This chia pudding is densely filled with vitamins and minerals that are ideal to start your day with.

Full of iron, fibre, vitamins from the fruit … and your kids will 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 or dairy-alternative milk and/or yogurt also work here. We’ve used lactose free milk and yogurt as well as almond milk and coconut yogurt with great success.

The pudding will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. The purée for 2 days.

Loads of options for to switch up the purée here as well. Use berries with lemon juice instead of lime. One follower said she tried a strawberry rhubarb as a topping and I think that sounds really good.

Be sure to drop a comment if you switch up the purée at all, I’d love to hear about it and try it too 🙂
