Naturally sweetened 3-ingredient chia pudding! With coconut milk, dates and chia seeds– that’s it! Super creamy and packed with plant-based protein and fiber.
We are big fans of chia pudding in our house. We love this vanilla version with yogurt, our mango chia pudding, and now- our simple, 3-ingredient chia pudding made with only coconut milk, dates, and chia seeds.
It’s super creamy and perfect for meal prep.
Why We Love This Recipe
What makes this chia pudding special is its simplicity. By using dates as a natural sweetener, we avoid added sugars, while still creating a breakfast that kids actually look forward to eating. The coconut milk adds a creamy richness that transforms ordinary chia pudding into something truly delicious.
From a nutritional standpoint, this breakfast is a powerhouse. Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. Combined with the healthy fats from coconut milk and the minerals and fiber from dates, you’ve got a breakfast that will keep everyone satisfied until lunchtime.
