A creamy, festive chia pudding bowl infused with vanilla and green hues, topped with fresh strawberries. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack that’s both delicious and visually appealing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (black chia seeds preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon spinach or matcha powder (for green color)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  • Toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk with 1 teaspoon spinach or matcha powder. If using spinach, blend it first with a splash of coconut milk until smooth to avoid leafy chunks (about 5 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the green coconut milk mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  3. Whisk in 3 tablespoons chia seeds thoroughly to prevent clumping (about 2 minutes).
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
  5. While the pudding chills, wash and slice ½ cup fresh strawberries. Toss with 1 teaspoon lime zest if using.
  6. Once the pudding is set, stir gently to break any lumps and spoon into serving bowls or jars.
  7. Top each bowl with sliced strawberries and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for crunch.
  8. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve. Stir before serving if pudding thickens.

Notes

If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash more coconut milk to loosen. Avoid vigorous stirring after setting to maintain creamy texture. Make pudding the night before for best results. Use airtight containers for storage. Can substitute maple syrup with agave or honey (not vegan).
