Breakfast (or brunch) is my favourite meal of the day, so I am always inspired by the amazing breakfast alternatives I come across online. I found this lovely post on Mama Papa Bubba and numerous delicious looking chia pudding thumbnail images on Pinterest and I just had to make some as part of Project Pinterest, week 5! Oh. My. Gosh. This is one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten- I kid you not! I might be living in Scandinavia during arguably the most “depressing” time of the year, however one spoonful of this amazing pudding and I was transported back to Australia… in glorious summertime. Please do try this! I am amazed that something so healthy and so nutritious can also taste so divine.
Chia Coconut Pudding- a perfect breakfast, snack or dessert!

Wow! That looks delicious! Will make it as soon as I get the ingredients.
It really is so amazingly yummy… and simple! I was surprised to find organic chia seeds in my local supermarket too. I hope you love it as much as we did 🙂 x
This is such good timing: I only learnt about using chia seeds in cooking last week. I can’t wait to make this! 🙂
🙂 I was also new to the whole cooking with chia seed thing! I am so happy to have found an easy recipe using them! All the best 🙂
Sounds fab! Gotta try it. My favorite breakfast is my lemon blueberry pancakes prepared with Spelt flour. Divine.
Oh yum! I think I’ll need to try your favourite breakfast out too… it sounds amazing! 🙂
Sounds delicious 🙂 Chia seeds are very useful. I like the way they absorb whatever they are put into.
Thank you 🙂 They really do seem to be amazing, huh? I think I’ll do a bit of research on good ol’ google about their health-giving properties too, as I really don’t know so much about them.
Looks DELISH. We often top ours with nuts too – so yummy! Thanks for the shout out. 🙂
Thank YOU for the inspiration too! I really loved that blog post of yours 🙂
oh yum. i so love chia porridge. i have been making it with raw cocoa and coconut…. so its like an almond joy without all the sin. 🙂 this looks delightful.
Wow- great that you are already making yummy chia stuff :)! I am very behind the chia times, it seems 😉
looks yummy.. i wanna try it but i don’t think we have chia seeds here..can i use something else instead? 🙂
Hmm, I am really no expert, but my dad tried some of this today (and loved it!) and said it reminded him of sago. Do you know what that is? Perhaps that’s easier to come by? I am really not sure though… If I find out I’ll let you know! 🙂
yes! tapioca balls ^^thank you.. as much as i’d love to try many of the healthy recipes i see here @ wordpress, im kinda limited by the ingredients that are only available here ^^ thanks though
Tropical fruit, coconut. What could be better?
I love the combination too! Makes me feel like I am on holiday! 🙂
I did just make chia pudding for my breakfast, like yesterday! With vanilla almond milk. What a coincidence to see your post 🙂 But I can’t wait to try it with coconut milk soon.
Great minds think alike, Shuz 😉 Vanilla almond milk sounds wonderful! 🙂
WOW – so trying this!! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
You are so welcome! I am really glad I found it too (made it again for breakfast today!) 🙂
ooooo love the coconut and tropical fruit!! would be delicious! 🙂
It really is yummy 🙂
This looks divine. I will be experimenting at home.Suspect our eldest will love it.
Oh great :)! Such a healthy breakfast too for the little ones 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever even seen Chia seeds in’t shops! I’m obvs not looking properly, I have come across it in recipes however. Looks amazing, and sooooo healthy xxxx
Thank you 🙂 I think they have become more popular very recently… I’d ever noticed them myself until I checked the supermarket health food aisle! xx
Very flavorful and looks so delicious! I love all the coconut : )
Thank you! I am a coconut fan too 🙂 x
MM, I love breakfast too! I have my favourite breakfast recipe which varies depending on what kind of additions I have 😉
anyway, yours sounds very exotic for me but tasty 🙂
Yes, this breakfast is a kind of exotic for me too (definitely not what I grew up eating for breakfast). I have always been a more traditional cereals for breakfast gal. And when I travel I LOVE hotel breakfasts… you know, the kind with enough calories to last you the rest of the day 😉 But this pudding is a really nice change… and I love the addition of fruit and nuts 🙂
Yum! Coconut, chia seeds, and mango…my favourites 🙂
Hi! I think you’d LOVE this recipe in that case! 🙂
