I love all things Chia these days. I just cannot get enough of it. It is so delicious and nutritious, I feel amazing eating it. Plus the fact that is sublimely deelish doesn’t hurt either 😉 Here is a great recipe for another Chia Pudding, this one with the beloved young coconut. It is not the prettiest of puddings but it is really tasty. To see my original Chia Pudding click here. To see why Chia is so fabulous for you click here.
Sweet Double Coconut Chia Pudding
Makes 1-2 servings
Recipe from Casey’s Lifestyle Raw blog
1 young coconut, flesh and water
1/2 cup coconut flakes
2/3 cup chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch cloves
8 drops vanilla stevia (you could also use plain stevia and add some vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder)
Blend together the young coconut flesh and water, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and stevia until well mixed. Place the chia seeds and coconut flakes in a owl and pour the coconut mixture from the blender over the top of the dry seeds and coconut flakes. Mix well and put in the fridge to set for ten minutes-overnight. Enjoy!

This looks so good! I am loving my chia seeds right now, the only thing is that I dont have access to any young coconuts. Do you think I could just substitue more coconut flakes instead? 🙂

I am loving chia seeds so much now too! The young coconut provides a creamy liquidy base, so I would suggest using nut milk alone or blending nutmilk with dried or fresh regular coconut meat for a thicker texture. Either way I am sure it will come out so good. Almost all the combos I have tried with chia seeds have been deelish! Let me know how it turns out 🙂
