You know what we love? Paleo chia pudding and we’ve got a few recipes on the blog to prove that point. This is probably due to the fact that tapioca pudding is also a favorite. The texture and mouthfeel of each of them is very similar. However, there’s no cooking involved for chia pudding so it’s quicker to make and less stirring over a hot stove.
Our other Paleo chia pudding recipes:
Only recently did I learn there were WHITE CHIA SEEDS! My mind quickly turned to making a new paleo chia pudding variation to add to the blog. They’re so pretty and have a very similar look to the aforementioned tapioca pudding. So why not mix it up with a contrasting color base so the little white speckles are front and center!
Melons came to mind and cantaloupe works well with it’s orange color. Honeydew is also very tasty, but not as green once mixed with the coconut milk. Both are perfect with the little splash of lime zest and juice. Once peaches are in season, there will be a peach variation! This recipe will most likely work just as well with the black chia seed variety, use what you can find!
A note about chia pudding and it’s consistency. If you add the full ½ cup + the 2 tblsp listed in the recipe, you’ll have a much thicker pudding, which is how we like it. If you like yours a bit thinner, don’t add the additional chia seeds. You be you!
This recipe is inspired by the Mango Chia Pudding from our friend May over at Enlightened Foodie. Find her on Instagram at @intuitivefooddesign – she has a crazy beautiful feed!
