A quick, easy, and wholesome chia pudding bowl perfect for Valentine’s Day, packed with fresh berries and natural sweetness, ideal for kids and parents seeking a healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup heart-shaped granola or crushed nuts
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon shredded coconut or cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (45 g) of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened coconut milk. Whisk well to separate any clumps, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of pure vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of maple syrup or honey. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired, about 1 minute.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir again after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
  4. Wash and slice 1/2 cup (75 g) of fresh strawberries and gather 1/2 cup (60 g) of fresh raspberries. Set aside 1/4 cup (30 g) of heart-shaped granola or crushed nuts.
  5. Spoon the thickened pudding into small jars or bowls. Top with sliced strawberries, raspberries, and sprinkle granola on top. Add shredded coconut or cacao nibs if desired.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for another 30 minutes for a colder treat. Stir in a splash of coconut milk if pudding is too thick before serving.

Notes

Stir the pudding after 30 minutes to prevent clumps. Use fresh berries for best texture and appearance. Adjust sweetness to taste or omit sweetener for a low-sugar option. If pudding is too thick, add a splash of coconut milk before serving. Prepare the pudding the night before for convenience.
