I’m already a devoted chia pudding fan, but this chia-coconut combo is next level! It does firm up quite a bit overnight, so when adding my toppings (I love a squeeze of raw honey, sliced strawberries and almonds) I include a splash more of almond milk. Delicious and filling.
So glad you enjoyed it, Danielle! Definitely a favourite of mine too!
I’m always looking for ways to use chia seeds besides just throwing them in a smoothie. This looks good, and super easy for busy mornings. I’ve been on the fence about bee pollen, but after seeing your pics, I’m going to try some!.
Love your blog! I have read your past posts on counting macros on a plant based diet. Since incorporating more fats and less carbs, are you still 40/30/30 or have they changed?
I wanted to start counting macros so just curious what has worked for you?
Well, overall calories will always be the biggest determining factor but I eat a bit less carbs now, more like 30%. Small adjustments in macro ratios are more about how you feel and perform than having a big influence on your results. I’d say anywhere from 30-60% carb is fine…just depends what works for you!
It would be really nice if they pre-made things like this delicious dessert and sold them in supermarkets. This was people would eat healthier even at buffet restaurants. Have you ever noticed there’s next to no healthy buffet restaurants that serve creative healthy dishes in any city? How about something nice and organic like this grain free Coconut Chia Breakfast bowl? That would be nice ot serve @ let’s say McDonalds. But they’re not going to do that.
Keep doing what you’re doing with your amazing food blogs. 🙂
haha, it would be nice, wouldn’t it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Until now I hadn’t thought of fusing chia seeds and coconut together in a breakfast bowl. Great combination!
You’re welcome!! I hope you enjoy it!
