Experience the tropical bliss of a Coconut Chia Seed Pudding Smoothie, a creamy and nutritious drink that’s perfect for breakfast, a midday snack, or a refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
Scale:
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups coconut milk (preferably full-fat)
1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup frozen tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, or a mix)
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup coconut yogurt
1/2 cup coconut milk (for blending)
Optional toppings: shredded coconut, fresh fruit slices, chia seeds
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
In a blender, combine the frozen tropical fruit, ripe banana, coconut yogurt, and the prepared chia seed pudding. Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk and blend until smooth.
If too thick, add more coconut milk to reach desired consistency.
Pour into glasses or bowls and top with optional toppings.
