Are you in search of a delectable, plant-powered breakfast that satisfies your taste buds and nourishes your body? Look no further than vegan chia pudding – a delightful treat that the whole family can enjoy!

I love chia pudding and really appreciate the health benefits of chia. Like, do you want to clean your colon the natural way? Eat chia pudding! Chia seeds absorb liquid, creating a gel-like consistency that not only gives the pudding its signature texture but also provides a sustained release of energy, keeping you fueled throughout the morning. But I also like the texture of chia pudding and I need more ways to eat it. That's why I made this piña colada vegan chia pudding.

I also have a method for making vegan chia pudding with coconut milk as well as nondairy yogurt. The recipe I share below makes two 8 oz jars, but you can easily double or triple the base recipe and keep a container of the vegan chia pudding in your fridge for the week. Then make different versions with various fruit, nuts, seeds, or nut butters of your choice.

what you need to make vegan chia pudding

whole black or white chia seeds nondairy milk

optional add-ins:

canned crushed pineapple lime juice & zest toasted coconut chips mint lime wedges

I have used pineapple to sweeten this piña colada vegan chia pudding but you could swap that for any other fruit or use maple syrup or agave nectar to give your chia pudding added sweetness. Any liquid flavors should be added to the nondairy milk and chia mixture from the start. Flavors will then develop more once it's refrigerated overnight to thicken.

Form into ball shape with your hands

Once the mixture has set overnight you'll have a thick and set vegan chia pudding. It's now ready to be made into any breakfast delight you crave.

The chia pudding can be combined with your oatmeal or overnight oats, added to a fruit salad bowl, or thrown in a smoothie if you get bored of eating the pudding straight up. If you want to mix it into overnight oats check out my recipes for cherry pie overnight oats or maple peach pecan overnight oats.
