A pina colada chia pudding that is healthy and delicious! Chia seed pudding. Sautéed pineapple, and toasted coconut! Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? It can be either, and is great for both.

Pina Colada Chia

If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain… Okay, fortunately for you, you did not have to hear my actual singing voice. Instead, you get to read my fun little song. But truth be told, I absolutely LOVE pina coladas. Last year my husband and I went on a trip to Belize, and the number of pina coladas (non-alcoholic) I consumed was ridiculous. It was all-inclusive, so I had one every single day! Multiple times a day. They were delicious. And so bad for me! Haha I asked what was in them, and let’s just say there is a reason we love cream and sugar so much.

This is a fun healthy version of my favorite flavor in a a pudding form!

Pina Colada Chia 2

Do you guys like chia seeds? Some people do not like the texture of chia seeds. But I personally love how they can absorb liquid and grow up to 9 times their size. It rocks! And the fact that I can take a liquid like coconut milk, and turn it into a pudding just by adding chia seeds is amazing.

And chia is super versatile too. But today, I don’t really want to focus on the health benefits (which are many), or the ease of use, but rather the fact that this pina colada chia pudding tastes awesome.

My kids scarf it down. My husband enjoys it. And I can feel like I am getting a total indulgence without all the added sugars and bad for you crap found in most pudding and desserts. When I am trying to eat better, this makes a great dessert option when I need a sweet fix.

Pina Colada Chia 4

Full disclosure there is some sugar in this recipe, but it is easily replaced with a non sugar option, or can be left out entirely. For me, I leave it out. But when I am making it for the family, I like to add it in so it is a little tastier.

    I love this! Hubby is one who doesn't like chia seeds, but then, I don't have to worry about him eating what I want for me :) I wonder if the name of this would catch him though. He does love pina coladas!

    The chia did not grow, and the milk never took on a "pudding" texture.

      Hmm that is not good. I have never heard of chia going bad before. I make this weekly, so I am sure the recipe is good. I wish I knew what went wrong.

        In my experience chia seeds need to sit overnight--at least 6-8 hours to fully absorb liquid. 5-10 minutes would seem way to short to get the benefit of the seeds absorbing the liquid. I do love this recipe, but I will let it sit overnight.

        February 22, 2017 at 10:02 am

        Yes, a minimum of 5-10 minutes, if you can't wait, but overnight is a great idea!
