Chia pudding is one of the easiest recipes to love — no stove, no complicated steps, just a few wholesome ingredients that turn into something creamy, satisfying, and naturally sweet. It’s a perfect breakfast if you like mornings simple, or a great grab-and-go snack when you want something nourishing without the effort.
This version uses only four ingredients, yet it’s full of fiber, plant-based protein, omega-3 fatty acids and slow-release energy. You mix it in minutes, chill it, and enjoy whenever you need something quick and delicious.
🥣 What You Need
-
400 ml light coconut milk
-
½ cup chia seeds
-
2 tbsp maple syrup
-
¼ cup protein powder
Coconut milk makes the texture creamy, chia seeds absorb liquid and gel beautifully, maple syrup adds subtle sweetness, and protein powder turns this into a more filling, balanced meal — especially for breakfast lovers who want something light but satisfying.
⭐ How to Make It (Step-By-Step)
- Add coconut milk to a bowl or jar: Shake the can first — separation is normal.
- Whisk in chia seeds: Stir well so they don’t clump together.
- Mix in maple syrup + protein powder: Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Let it sit for 10 minutes, stir again: This prevents seeds from settling.
- Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or overnight: The longer it chills, the thicker it becomes.
By morning, you’ll have a velvety pudding that’s ready to top and enjoy.
