Coconut Kefir Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy, nourishing, and refreshing way to fuel your day—whether you’re kickstarting your morning or reaching for a wholesome snack. This easy, no-cook recipe combines powerful ingredients that not only taste delicious but also offer a wide range of health benefits.
At its core are chia seeds, which are rich in fiber, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. These tiny seeds expand when soaked, creating a pudding-like texture that supports digestion and helps keep you full and energized throughout the day.
The base of the pudding is coconut kefir, a probiotic-rich fermented drink made from coconut milk. Unlike dairy-based kefir, this plant-based alternative is gentle on the digestive system while still delivering billions of live cultures that promote gut health, immune function, and nutrient absorption.
To naturally sweeten the mix, a splash of maple syrup adds depth and richness without refined sugars. A pinch of cinnamon provides more than just warm, earthy flavor—it’s also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, blood sugar-regulating effects, and potential to support heart health.
Fresh blueberries and peach slices bring color, texture, and a burst of antioxidants, vitamins, and natural sweetness. Together, these toppings elevate the pudding from simple to sensational.
This recipe is not only packed with nutrition but also incredibly versatile and meal-prep friendly. Make a batch ahead of time and enjoy a delicious, gut-supportive treat whenever you need a boost.
