Ingredients
Servings
4
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
-
In a blender or food processor, combine the coconut milk, blueberries, mashed banana, ground flaxseed, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and fully combined for a soft, creamy base.
-
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and evenly stir in the chia seeds to distribute omega-3s and fiber.
-
Add water gradually while stirring to reach a thick yet pourable pudding consistency, suitable for toddlers learning to self-feed.
-
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or portion into individual toddler-friendly containers with lids for easy serving.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid and create a thick pudding texture with a soft mouthfeel.
-
Before serving, stir the pudding gently to redistribute settled chia seeds and ensure uniform texture.
-
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a nut-free, dairy-free, finger-food friendly spoonable pudding ideal for toddlers' snacks or desserts.
-
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, perfect for make-ahead meal prep and lunchbox-friendly servings.
