Paleo Chia Pudding
Paleo Chia Pudding is a creamy, delicious, and nutritious dish made with chia seeds and coconut milk, offering a healthy, grain-free, and dairy-free option. This simple recipe is naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, making it perfect for those following a Paleo lifestyle. Enjoy it for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert, topped with fresh fruits, nuts, or coconut flakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Topping Ideas:
- Fresh berries
- Sliced banana
- Chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
- Let it sit: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir the mixture after the first 10-15 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- Check consistency: Once the pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. If it's too thick, add a bit more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars, top with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Sweetness: Adjust the level of sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
- Consistency: If the pudding is too runny after chilling, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
- Milk options: Full-fat coconut milk works best for creaminess, but you can also use almond milk or other Paleo-friendly milk options.
