How to Make Chia Pudding

Making chia pudding can be surprisingly tricky. The reason is that you need to get the right ratio between chia seeds and whatever liquid you are using. In the case of today’s pudding recipe, we are using both coconut milk and pumpkin puree which aren’t as thin as water or almond milk.

So, I tested this one a few times and found that 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup of puree with 1/3 cup of chia seeds makes for the perfect pudding consistency.

Meal Prep 

When I’m meal prepping, I like to include chia puddings for an easy breakfast or snack. Even kids will eat them because they taste like a regular pudding, but they are absolutely chock-full of nutrition. See my other meal prep ideas.

One serving of chia pudding has almost 20% of the RDA of magnesium, plus calcium and plant-based protein. Also, just as a note, if you add a pinch of ginger to this recipe, it will taste like gingerbread!
