Print Recipe

A quick and healthy chia pudding bowl featuring creamy coconut milk, fresh orange segments, and crunchy toasted coconut flakes. Perfect for breakfast or a nourishing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk (full-fat canned or carton)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large orange, peeled and sectioned
  • 1/4 cup (20 g) toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Optional toppings: fresh mint leaves, sliced almonds, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons (45 g) of chia seeds with 1 cup (240 ml) of coconut milk to prevent clumping.
  2. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of maple syrup or honey and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps for a creamy texture.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens.
  5. Peel and section one large orange, removing seeds and as much pith as possible.
  6. Toast 1/4 cup (20 g) of unsweetened coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.
  7. Once pudding is set, stir well and spoon into serving bowls or jars.
  8. Top with fresh orange segments and toasted coconut flakes.
  9. Add optional toppings like sliced almonds, fresh mint, or a dash of cinnamon if desired.
  10. Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

Stir the pudding after 30 minutes of chilling to avoid a gelled surface layer. If pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of coconut milk before serving. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Overnight chilling yields best texture.
