A quick, easy, and indulgent chia pudding bowl layered with fresh strawberries and creamy coconut milk, perfect for a romantic breakfast or a healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped nuts or granola for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk or stir well to prevent lumps.
  2. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Optionally, fold in 1/4 cup (60g) of plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and form pudding.
  5. Wash, hull, and slice 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries. Optionally toss with 1 teaspoon honey and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  6. Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top with sliced strawberries and sprinkle with chopped nuts or granola. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or chill briefly. If chilled, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Stir the chia mixture every 15-20 minutes during the first hour of chilling to prevent clumps. Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. Leftovers keep up to 2 days in the fridge; avoid freezing to prevent grainy texture.
