Best Whole30 Chia Pudding
Description
Best Whole30 Chia Pudding uses canned coconut milk as its creamy base mixed with chia seeds and mashed banana to provide natural sweetness and texture. Vanilla extract and cinnamon add a hint of warmth and depth to the flavor without overpowering the mild coconut and banana notes.
Once combined, the mixture is placed in jars or containers and refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, producing a thick, pudding-like consistency. The texture becomes even creamier and smoother the longer it chills, making it a flexible make-ahead option.
This pudding serves well as a wholesome breakfast or a filling snack. The banana adds a fruity taste and natural sweetness, enhancing the neutral flavor of the chia and coconut milk. Using canned coconut milk is crucial for achieving the right creaminess and consistency.
The recommendation is to use Better Body Foods chia seeds for optimal results, as some other brands like Trader Joe’s may not work as well. Avoid substituting regular almond milk or light coconut milk since canned coconut milk provides the necessary fat and richness.
