This Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy Whole30 breakfast or snack that you can prep ahead of time. This coconut chia pudding is made without any artificial sweeteners because the blueberries are sweet enough!
The natural sweetness of blueberries makes this coconut chia pudding adelicious breakfast or snack!
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 and chia 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.
What kitchen tools will I need to make this Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding?
What ingredients will I need to make this healthy Whole30 breakfast?
You will be amazed at how easy it is to make this chia seed pudding with simple ingredients!
- Lite coconut milk
- Vanilla extract
- Chia seeds or white chia seeds
- Water
- Frozen bluberries
Light vs. Full Fat Coconut Milk
Light coconut milk and full fat coconut milk are essentially the exact same thing except that extra water is added to light coconut milk. I use light coconut milk for this coconut chia pudding recipe because it gives the dairy free chia pudding the perfect texture.
You can use full fat coconut milk for this recipe, but you will need to add a 1/2 cup of water to the mixture in order to get the right consistency of chia pudding.
Let’s make a delicious coconut milk chia 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.
Step 4: Enjoy!
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/
This recipe is super awesome. I made a few adaptations based on the ingredients I had in the pantry and freezer. I used whole fat coconut milk, and added 1/2 cup of water to thin it. I also made the sauce with cherries. Let just say, this was excellent. I’m looking forward to breakfast tomorrow.
★★★★★
awesome!! I need to try this with some cherries!!
Daniel,
Did you use fresh or frozen cherries? I have both, and I’m thinking this will be breakfast in the morning.
I would use fresh and just chop them up and mix them in since they are in season!
Delicious! I followed the recipe to a T and it was such a treat. I’ve been eating it as dessert as well.
★★★★★
Thank you for sharing!! I agree it makes a nice little dessert!
Seriously awesome recipe. This recipe made me love chia seed pudding. I have used raspberries as well as blackberries. Turns out fantastic. Thank you!!
★★★★★
Ah yay! Thank you for sharing! I just did mixed berries last night and it was sooo good.
This is very delicious
Are the carb counts correct?
They are as close to accurate as possible but truly depends on the exact brands of ingredients you use. If exact carb counts are important to you, I suggest plugging the into a calculator 🙂
I made this just as you said. It was awesome. I now love chia pudding!! Thanks Madeline!! Gonna try strawberries next!!
Amazing!! So glad you enjoyed!
This is the best chia seed pudding I have found yet. The ratio of chia seeds to liquid makes a perfect pudding. I also used whole coconut milk and did not have a problem. I also added ground flax seed and cinnamon. It was awesome! Thanks for the great recipe.
★★★★★
Thank you for sharing!! Love the additions you made!!
I love this recipe! It has become a weekly staple in my kitchen. Perfect as a light breakfast or a hearty snack. Great as is, or sometimes I sub in other berries for the sauce.
★★★★★
Yay! Love that. Lately I have been doing a full bag of mixed berries per batch
I followed every instruction exactly. My puddingwas not hard after 9+ hours. What happened??
its not supposed to be set like traditional pudding. Are you familiar with chia seed pudding?
I make this recipe almost every week and its very easy to change up the fruit with other types of frozen fruit. I never thought I would like chia seed pudding but the coconut milk makes it so smooth. I almost always use full fat coconut milk and just add a little extra water to help with the consistency.
★★★★★
awesome!! Thank you!! I agree I wasn’t a big fan of chia pudding until I made it this way.
So good! I did frozen mango chunks on top and then they defrosted overnight instead of blueberries- even simpler! I also added some cinnamon and ginger, and some vanilla protein powder- so good!
ooo wow that sounds amazing!! love those additions and how you simplified the fruit!
Lite coconut milk always gives me an upset stomach, so I made this with the full fat and water mixture. Just had it for breakfast. This tastes so good and will definitely make again.
★★★★★
awesome!! Thank you!!
I make this recipe all the time, for myself and also my personal chef clients! It’s so easy and the perfect texture.
★★★★★
amazing!! Thank you, Aubrey!!
Should you use the thick layer of coconut at the top of the can or just the milk that is liquified?
Mix it together and use the mixture
Seriously the best recipe for chia seed pudding. I have made it so many times now. It saves so well in fridge. I have omitted the vanilla and was just as good. I even used frozen raspberries instead and delicious. In my opinion the use of the lite coconut milk makes this recipe stand out vs other recipes I have tried. Give such a great flavor.
★★★★★
thank you so much!!
This is my go to China seed pudding recipe! It’s a favorite of me and my guy!
★★★★★
love that! Thank you!
My kids eat this regularly and love it!
★★★★★
YAY!! I am so glad
Delicious! Don’t skip the blending step when preparing the pudding or chunks from the coconut milk don’t mix properly. The recipe and flavor was perfect and I’ll be sure to follow ALL of the instructions next time 🙂
thank you!!
Omg I’ve made chia seed pudding before but never thought to used the canned lite coconut milk. It took it next level!!!
★★★★★
yes so creamy!! so glad you tried it!
