I’m excited to share this fresh, healthy recipe with you. Even though I’ve cut back on sweets as part of my lifestyle change, I still enjoy creating nutritious treats that taste wonderful—and this Coconut Banana Chia Seed Pudding is a perfect example. It’s guilt-free, simple to make, and delicious.
I jumped on the chia seed bandwagon a while back and have loved adding them to smoothies and breakfasts. Chia pudding has a unique, satisfying texture that’s different from traditional pudding but very enjoyable. After experimenting with flavors, I combined two favorites—banana and coconut—to create this light, creamy pudding.

This Coconut Banana Chia Seed Pudding is smooth and naturally sweetened. It takes only a few minutes of hands-on time: blend the ingredients, chill, and you’re ready to enjoy a nutritious snack or a filling breakfast the next morning.

Ingredients
1.5 cups coconut almond milk (or regular almond milk)
2 large bananas, cut into chunks
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, plus extra for garnish
Set aside one banana. Put the remaining ingredients (except the coconut flakes for garnish) into a blender.

Blend until smooth.

Add the reserved banana, cut into chunks, and pulse once or twice so there are small banana pieces throughout the pudding.


Pour the mixture into a bowl or airtight container and cover.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or longer, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the pudding has thickened. Before serving, sprinkle with extra coconut flakes for garnish.
