I was never really a fan of chia seed pudding until I did my first Whole30! Then, I needed something for breakfast that I could eat when I got sick of eggs. Chia seed pudding became my answer.
I began to like chia seed pudding when I used coconut milk as my liquid and paired it with the natural sweetness of fruit. This Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is sweetened naturally with just some sauteed frozen blueberries.

Let’s make a delicious chia seed pudding!
Step 1: Mix and chill
First, place lite coconut milk, water, vanilla extract, and chia seeds in a large mixing bowl. Then, mix them all together into a smooth mixture. Chill the chia seed pudding in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 2: Make a blueberry sauce
Then, place frozen blueberry and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Next, allow the blueberries to begin to burst over the heat.
Then, smash the blueberries down and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the blueberry sauce for 10 minutes stirring frequently and remove from heat.
Step 3: Put it together!
Finally, combine the chilled chia seed pudding and blueberry sauce in half pint jars and store in the refrigerator.

Why don’t my chia seeds look like the ones you used?
For this Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed pudding, I used white chia seeds. They work exactly the same as regular chia seeds I just had white chia on hand! Either one will work the same.

Do you have to use lie coconut milk. I usually only have regular coconut milk on hand.
Hi Elizabeth, I tried it with both, but with the regular, I got some chunks in the pudding after it sat in the fridge. You can add some extra water to see if that helps! But I recommend the lite.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
I make chia pudding quite often, blend the whole fat coconut very well in a blender, then I usually dilute it with compliant almond milk. I like a 1:1 or a 2:1 (coconut to almond) ratio.
Oh thank you! Very helpful!!
Oh good to know! I can’t find lite coconut milk here without undesirable additives, so this will be a good alternative.
How long would it last in the fridge?
It should be good for 5 days
I do not have coconut milk but have unsweetened Silk almond milk in the fridge. Could I use that?
yes it will work! It won’t be as creamy but will still be good!
Try this mix: 2 c. Silk coconut milk (in a carton), 1/2 c. chia seed and 1 c. fresh blueberries. Refrigerate overnight – 4 servings, 364 calories
The other combo I have is 1-1/3 c. coconut or other unsweetened plant-based milk (carton), 1-2 drops liquid stevia, 5 TBSP chia seed. Refrigerate overnight – 4 servings, 113 calories Note: with 1 c. strawberries or raspberries or 1/2 c. blueberries, this is really filling.
Hope this helps : )
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, is this pudding keto “friendly”?
Hi! It definitely is if you use less of the bluberry mixture. When I make it for my fiance who eats low carb we keep it separate and she adds less than I do.
I was under the impression that vanilla extract is not W30 compliant? Can you clarify? I have done several rounds and thought all extracts were off limits.
Hi Gia! Almost a year ago they changed the rules to include extracts https://whole30.com/whole30-extracts/
