A bright and refreshing chia pudding bowl featuring creamy chia seeds, fresh orange segments, and crunchy toasted coconut. Perfect for a quick, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Zest from 1/2 orange

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk. Stir well to break up any clumps.
  2. Mix in 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  3. If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
  4. Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into serving jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow chia seeds to swell and thicken.
  5. Peel the orange and separate into segments, removing seeds and membranes. Zest half of the orange and set aside.
  6. Toast 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. Once the pudding has thickened, stir gently and spoon into serving bowls or jars.
  8. Top with fresh orange segments, toasted coconut flakes, and sprinkle with orange zest.
  9. Enjoy immediately or chill for up to 2 days. Stir in a splash of almond milk if pudding is too thick before serving.

Notes

Use small-curd chia seeds for smoother texture. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Adjust sweetness to preference. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk. Can be prepared ahead and stored up to 2 days refrigerated. Variations include adding berries, cocoa powder, nuts, or spices like cinnamon.
