A vibrant and luscious chia pudding bowl infused with vanilla and fresh citrus, topped with crunchy almonds and coconut flakes. Perfect for a cozy breakfast, brunch, or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (organic white or black preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or coconut/oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) toasted almonds, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup. Whisk vigorously to prevent clumps (about 5 minutes).
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir after 30 minutes to break up any clumps.
  3. While pudding chills, peel and segment 1 orange and 1 grapefruit, removing the white pith carefully (about 10 minutes).
  4. In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast 1/4 cup chopped almonds and 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Once pudding is set and creamy, stir well and spoon into serving bowls or jars. Top with fresh citrus segments, toasted almonds, coconut flakes, and fresh mint leaves if desired.
  6. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. Add a splash of almond milk if pudding is too thick before serving.

Notes

Whisk the pudding mixture well before chilling to avoid clumps. Stir after 30 minutes for even thickening. Toast almonds and coconut flakes over moderate heat and stir constantly to prevent burning. Add a splash of almond milk if pudding is too thick before serving. Use fresh citrus for best flavor. Store leftovers in airtight container refrigerated up to 2 days; add toppings fresh before serving.
