Easy Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

Welcome to your new favorite breakfast or dessert hybrid: Coconut Chia Seed Yogurt Pudding. This luscious and nutritious treat is an effortless combination of simple ingredients that come together in a silky, spoonable pudding.

Imagine starting your day with a bowl full of tropical flavor. Greek yogurt provides rich creaminess and a protein boost. Coconut milk adds a velvety texture and exotic taste. Chia seeds bring the magic—transforming into a thick, pudding-like texture with a slight pop and plenty of fiber.

It’s incredibly versatile, too. Serve it in cute jars for a brunch gathering, or keep it in your fridge for a grab-and-go breakfast. Dress it up with juicy raspberries and crispy coconut chips, or swap in your favorite fruits, nuts, or granola.

Unlike many puddings that need hours to set, this one firms up fast thanks to the Greek yogurt base. And if you’re watching your sugar intake, you can easily use less honey or a sugar-free alternative.

This dish is all about balance—creamy but refreshing, sweet but not cloying, indulgent yet nutritious. It also requires zero cooking, zero special tools, and minimal cleanup. Ideal for busy weekdays or lazy weekends alike.

You’ll also love that this recipe is meal-prep friendly. Make a few servings ahead of time and have a healthy snack waiting for you all week. It’s ideal for those aiming to eat clean without sacrificing flavor.

In the warmer months, it makes for a wonderfully cool treat. In the colder seasons, it brings a hint of sunshine with every spoonful.

Not a fan of coconut? Try almond or oat milk instead. Want more protein? Stir in a scoop of protein powder. Need something heartier? Top with granola or nuts.

It’s kid-friendly, adult-approved, and fancy enough to impress but easy enough for every day.

Whether you’re a seasoned chia fan or just exploring the wonders of this tiny seed, this recipe is a fantastic place to start.

You get a healthy dose of omega-3s, probiotics, calcium, and antioxidants all in one happy jar.

Did we mention it’s just so pretty to look at? You can layer it in glasses for a parfait-style presentation or keep it rustic and homestyle in bowls or jars.

Let’s get into the creamy, dreamy details.
