Whether you need a refreshing start to your morning or a post-dinner treat that won't wreck your healthy streak, this one's got you covered.
A Jar Full of Sunshine and Superfoods
Ever wake up craving something that feels indulgent but is actually good for your body? That's where this chia pudding shines. It's rich, creamy, fruity, and energizing—all in one scoop. It's like a smoothie bowl and a parfait had a delicious baby.

It's so pretty in a glass, it almost feels too fancy for a weekday—but it's actually one of the easiest breakfasts you can prepare ahead.
Ingredients You'll Need (Serves 2)
For the chia pudding:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but delightful)
For the toppings:
- 1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced or mashed
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (raw or toasted)
- Extra coconut milk or coconut yogurt for layering (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the chia base:
In a mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well so the seeds don't clump together. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then give it another stir before covering and placing it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
2. Prepare the layers:
Right before serving, prepare your toppings. Slice the avocado just before using to keep it from browning.If you're craving a little crunch, try toasting the shredded coconut! Just toss it into a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and releases a warm, nutty aroma. It adds the perfect crisp topping to your creamy chia pudding.
3. Assemble the beauty:
Grab a clear glass or jar for those Instagram vibes. Start with a scoop of chia pudding, then add a layer of avocado, a handful of blueberries, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut. Repeat the layers as desired. Finish with a drizzle of coconut milk or a dollop of coconut yogurt if you're feeling extra.
4. Chill and enjoy:
Serve it cold with a long spoon. You'll love every cool, creamy, fresh bite.
Fun Add-On Ideas
Want to make it even more exciting? Try these:
- A spoonful of nut butter between layers for richness.
- Lime zest or a squeeze of lime juice on the avocado for a fresh twist.
- Add granola or crushed almonds for crunch.
- Swap blueberries for mango, kiwi, or pineapple for a full tropical vibe.
The Health Perks
This pudding isn't just a treat for the eyes—it's a serious nutritional powerhouse. Chia seeds are loaded with fiber, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids that help keep you full and support digestion. Coconut milk brings in healthy fats for long-lasting energy, while avocado delivers potassium and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Blueberries top it off with a burst of antioxidants to help fight inflammation and support your immune system. It's basically a superfood dessert disguised as breakfast!
Meal Prep Friendly
Make a double or triple batch and keep it in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. The chia base stores well, and you can add the toppings fresh each day. It's a lifesaver for busy mornings or healthy snacks on the go.
So, Lykkers, next time you want something quick, nourishing, and just downright beautiful—this is your go-to. Let your spoons dive in, and let us know how yours turns out. Tropical vibes, happy guts, and satisfied taste buds await!
