Brighten Your Morning With This Easy Tropical Chia Pudding Recipe
Hey guys!
Do you go into full-on fall mode the second pumpkin spice everything hits store shelves in mid-August, orrrr do you stick with summer vibes as long as you possibly can?
I’m clinging to summer as long as I can! Maybe it’s because I’m LIVING for the warm weather and bright colors of the season. Or maybe… it’s because of this Tropical Chia Pudding recipe. I’m a little obsessed.
I don’t think I’ve ever met anything tropical that I didn’t like. And you guys, chia pudding + tropical fruit = heavennnn!
If you’ve never had chia pudding before, this recipe is a must!!
It’s crazy how easy it is! You just combine almond milk and chia seeds and let them sit overnight. As the seeds and milk chill, the mixture thickens into a cool, creamy pudding-like texture. Adding the mango, pineapple, and coconut flakes makes me feel like I should be eating this breakfast on a beach somewhere.
I love prepping a few servings of chia pudding at a time so I can easily grab a jar for breakfast or a snack. Chia seeds are amaaaazing – they’re packed with fiber (11 grams per ounce!), protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and other minerals. Pretty crazy for a tiny seed!

God bless Cassey!
Can honey be used as the sweetener? Does it change the consistency at all?
I think you can use honey! Try it out and let me know but I think it should be fine!
Update: It was delicious. 🙂 I used a local raw honey that I normally use to sweeten things, I think raw honey (especially if it’s local!) has the best flavor. However, because the almond milk was cold, the honey didn’t really get a chance to spread throughout the mixture, and was sort of clumpy when I first stirred it in. Next time I will warm the honey up a little so it thins out and can mix more easily before putting it all in the fridge. But the overall result was super yummy! Kind of like eating a boba tea drink…
Ohhhh thank you for the update! That sounds really nice!!!
Thank you! This was the refreshing pick me up that I needed! Definitely holding on to the last part of summer too!
YAYYY glad you love!!!
