  • Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ dragon fruit, blended (for color and flavor)
  • ½ dragon fruit, diced (for topping)
  • ¼ cup granola (optional, for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chia Mixture: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Blend the Dragon Fruit: In a blender, blend ½ dragon fruit until smooth. Pour this into the chia mixture and stir thoroughly.
  3. Let it Set: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken. Stir the mixture after the first 5-10 minutes to prevent clumping.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding again and scoop it into bowls or jars. Top with diced dragon fruit, granola, and shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
  5. Enjoy! Serve chilled and savor the tropical goodness.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the chia pudding after it has set.
  • If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of coconut milk before serving.
  • You can use white or pink dragon fruit—pink will give a vibrant color.
  • For added protein, mix in Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder.
  • This pudding stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
