Piña Colada Chia Pudding
Both my husband and I love creating chia puddings for ourselves and our clients. They are super simple and easy to make, and are a great source of vitamins, clean plant protein, and phytonutrients from all the fresh fruit inside. Pair it with vegan yogurt for healthy probiotics, and there’s no wonder why we are obsessed with these breakfast power houses.
The best part of creating chia pudding is the creative space you have with building them. This time around, I wanted to add some island vibes to my breakfast with some Piña coladas flavors. The coconut and pineapple are two flavors that complement each other so well, especially in these chia puddings. Then I topped with with all the tropical fruit I could get my hands on, to really feel like I was dropped off on the beach of a tropical island.
Next time, someone brings up the argument, “what would you eat if you were stuck on a deserted island?” You’ll have these Pina colada chia puddings as your answer! Enjoy!

Makes 2 chia puddings
The Goods:
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup sliced pineapple
1/2 cup shredded coconut flakes
Coconut yogurt and granola for garnish
Extra tropical fruit for garnish
The Method:
Into a high powered blender, add plant milk, pineapple, coconut flakes, coconut sugar, and blend on high until smooth.
Add your pina colada milk into a 32oz jar along with your chia seeds, stir with a spoon for about a minute. Cap the jar with a lid and let it sit for 30-40 minutes in the fridge. Come back every 10 minutes and give the jar a shake or stir to keep all the chia from gelatinizing down at the bottom
Once the chia is soft and ready, grab your servings bowls. Place a few generous spoonfuls into your bowls, top with a few dollops of coconut yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, and finish with your favorite tropical fruit toppings like mango, dragonfruit, passionfruit, papaya, etc!
Enjoy as a snack now, or build them into 2 (16oz) mason jars for a high protein meal prep later in the week. Refrigerate and it lasts about 4-5 days.
