This Coconut Chia Pudding checks all the boxes for a nourishing, blood sugar–friendly treat. The healthy fats in coconut milk help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels, while chia seeds offer a powerhouse combo of fiber and omega-3s to support gut and metabolic health. It’s naturally sweet without relying on added sugars—just a touch of optional sweetener if you want it.

Best of all, it satisfies that dessert craving without causing a glucose spike, and it’s completely dairy- and gluten-free, making it a great option for those with common food sensitivities. It’s simple, satisfying, and makes a great mealtime addition, snack, or treat when you’re combating those cravings.

Get creative and try your own variations with flavor additions like unsweetened cocoa powder, slivered almonds, cinnamon, hemp seeds or blueberries to name a few.

Ingredients:

1 can full-fat canned coconut milk
4 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Optional sweetener: 1–2 tbsp honey, maple syrup, allulose, monk fruit or stevia (add to taste)
Optional topping: a few fresh berries, crushed walnuts, or unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions:

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, vanilla, sweetener (if using), and sea salt.
Stir in chia seeds and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, stir well. Top with a few berries or a sprinkle of nuts.
