This rainbow chia seed pudding recipe with coconut milk is a beautiful and delicious layered parfait! The layers are each a different flavor and are loaded with nutrients. Colored only with fruits! Chia seed pudding is a great breakfast or snack recipe! Chia seeds, a small black seed, plump up and form a tapioca-like texture when soaked in liquid. In this chia seed pudding, we use coconut milk to plump up our chia seeds and give the pudding a rich and creamy texture.

While most puddings are the occasional treat, this chia seed pudding recipe is so healthy and nutrient-packed that you can enjoy it anytime!

Let’s get started with the coconut milk

Coconut is one serious health food, and we use it in this recipe in two ways! Coconut milk is the liquid for our chia seed puddingand dried coconut is also blended into the white layer to add great coconut flavor.

Coconut has been shown to be an effective natural treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and kidney infection. It can also prevent serious diseases like cancer, heart disease, and stomach ulcers. It will also boost our health by reducing inflammation, improving cognition, and prevent cavities.

Chia seeds are another superfood that you will be getting a big dose of in this chia seed pudding. Per calorie, chia seeds are jam-packed with nutrients. Chia seeds are high in fiber and protein which can help us to both lose weights and maintain a healthy weight. They contain omega-3 fats that support brain health and they can even boost our energy levels and metabolism.

To make these pretty layers, we use fruit for flavor and color. No food dyes or flavor extracts needed! Not only does this make our Rainbow Chia Pudding even healthier, it means that each layer is a unique flavor and beautiful color. Not only does this rainbow chia pudding with coconut milk taste good, but it looks good too!

To make each layer, you will blend fruit, coconut milk, and a touch of maple syrup together until it is well combined. You want this to be a smooth liquid without any chunks. Be sure to rinse out your blender between blending each layer to keep the colors pure.

Once you have your layer bases blended, all you need to do is whisk in the chia seeds and let each layer set up in the fridge. Once set, you can safely layer the different flavors on top of each other without them mixing together and blending colors. The chia seeds will have thickened up the fruit purees enough that they can stack one on top of another without the colors blending.
