Sweet, creamy, and packed with nutrients, this Chia Pudding with Coconut Milk and Berries is a refreshing way to start your day without spiking your blood sugar. Unlike sugary cereals or pastries, it delivers fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants — all in one chilled, satisfying jar.

Chia seeds provide slow-digesting fiber and plant-based omega-3s, while full-fat coconut milk offers brain-boosting MCTs and lasting energy. The berries bring natural sweetness and polyphenols that support gut and cognitive health. Top it with toasted coconut or nuts for extra texture and staying power.

This isn’t just breakfast — it’s smart fuel disguised as a treat.
