Easy First Watch Chia Pudding Recipe At Home
Make this creamy and healthy First Watch Chia Pudding Recipe at home! Perfect for breakfast or a light snack with coconut milk, fruit, and granola.
Ingredients
For The Chia Pudding Base:
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk use canned or barista-style for creaminess
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp honey or substitute with maple syrup for vegan version
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For Toppings:
- ¼ cup mixed berry jam or fruit compote
- 1 banana sliced
- ½ cup fresh strawberries sliced
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ to 1 cup granola plain or coconut flavor works beautifully
Instructions
Step 1: Mix The Base
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk it gently until it’s smooth and slightly frothy. This helps distribute the sweetness evenly.
Step 2: Add The Chia Seeds
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds and stir well to combine. Make sure no seeds clump together — every little seed should be surrounded by liquid.
Step 3: Let It Rest And Stir Again
- Let the mixture sit for about 10–15 minutes, then give it another good stir. This helps the seeds settle evenly and prevents clumping.
Step 4: Chill To Thicken
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 1½ to 2 hours. If you can, leave it overnight — the texture gets creamier as it rests.
Step 5: Assemble Your Chia Pudding Bowls
- Once the pudding is thickened, give it one final stir. Spoon it into two serving bowls. Add a layer of mixed berry jam or compote, then top with granola, banana slices, strawberries, and blueberries.
Step 6: Serve And Enjoy
- Serve cold. Every spoonful should give you creamy chia, fruity sweetness, and crunchy granola — that perfect pudding texture that makes this dish feel like a treat.
