Chia seeds make great desserts and are high in omega-3s. This recipe is a healthy alternative to processed desserts. It uses agave (or stevia if you prefer) as a sweetener instead of sugar. Stir again before serving and top with fresh fruit and another dash of cinnamon or spices.

Had Stevia so I used that instead of agave and threw in three  handfuls if blueberries, very tasty and quite satiating. (Update) I've made this three times now, the last two I did not use any sweetner and dropped the cinamon and increased the vanilla. The most recent batch was just a can of coconut milk , 1 Tablespoon of vanilla (the real stuff) and a handful of blueberries, oh and a 1/4 cup of finely shredded unsweetened coconut and of course the chia seeds. It's plenty sweet as is and very tasty. Satisfies my sweet tooth cravings.

I loved this recipe. However, as most of us do, I made some changes. I skipped the cinnamon, salt and strawberries (didn't have strawberries), and substituted one small can (8oz) of crushed pineapple, juice included. Went great with the coconut!

I was a little unclear about what the coconut milk meant in the ingredients, so I just used 2 cups of organic coconut  milk beverage that comes in an aseptic (shelf-stable) box. The other smaller portion of coconut milk might be referring to the stuff that comes in a can, but I didn't use any of that.  In any case, it turned out fine, though it's not very sweet on its own.  Mixed with fruit it's pretty tasty and a good substitute for pudding or yogurt as a snack.

I just had this at First Watch for breakfast and loved it.  So I came home and found this recipe and made some.  It was great.  It was thinner than the restaurant version,  maybe they used canned coconut milk and I used the stuff in the carton.  I added banana, dried blueberries and coconut granola on top.  Delicious!

This recipe turned out great! My kids enjoyed this and kept eating more! I added fruits like fresh pineapple kiwi pears and granola since I didn't have strawberries. It's a keeper!

this will definitely replace my old chia seed pudding recipe I didn't add salt and I added a banana and dry coconut flakes

I think this will be my standard go-tofor chia pudding as it thickens well and is very healthy. I used all un-sweetened coconut milk (2 and 1/3 cup), and added 2 tbsp regular sugar (rather than 1 tbsp agave syrup) to make up for it. I also added a pinch more cinnamon than called for and 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice. I like spice!

Terrific! There are no empty calories from starch so I didn't feel bad that the whole batch disappeared almost at once. We thought we might add a bit more vanilla for our taste but this was wonderful. Thanks for the great recipe!

Great taste and consistency. I was timid with the cinnamon but will be more aggressive next time. I used Truvia instead of agave and was plenty sweet for me. I mix with raspberries and its amazing!

I made this and followed the directions. It turned out like soup even after stirring the chia seeds that stuck to the bottom. Not much flavor either. Definitely needs help!
