Ingredients

  • Chia seeds: 120g / 4.2 oz / ½ cup

  • Unsweetened carton coconut milk: 800ml / 27 fl oz / 3½ cups

  • Hemp seeds: 55g / 1.9 oz / 4 Tbsp

  • Honey or maple syrup: 20g / 0.7 oz / 1 Tbsp

  • Vanilla extract: 5ml / 1 tsp

  • Lime zest: 4g / 1 tsp

  • Plain Greek yogurt (2%): 560g / 19.8 oz / 2⅓ cups

  • Honey (for yogurt layer): 15g / 0.5 oz / 1 Tbsp

  • Fresh mango (diced): 200g / 7 oz / 1½ cups

  • Fresh pineapple (chunks): 150g / 5.3 oz / 1 cup

  • Toasted coconut flakes (unsweetened): 30g / 1 oz / ⅓ cup

  • Lime juice: 20g / 0.7 oz / 1½ Tbsp

Directions

1.  Make the chia base: In a large bowl or jug, whisk together coconut milk, honey, vanilla extract, and lime zest until combined. Stir in chia seeds and hemp seeds and whisk well to distribute evenly. Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.

2.  Divide the chia mixture evenly into 4 jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours until thick and pudding-like.

3.  Prep the toppings: Toss diced mango and pineapple with lime juice. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

4.  Make the yogurt layer: Stir honey into Greek yogurt until smooth.

5.  Assemble: Spoon a generous layer of honey yogurt over each chia pudding. Top with mango, pineapple, toasted coconut flakes, and an extra drizzle of honey if desired. Serve straight from the fridge.

 

Meal Prep Instructions

  • Batch Prep: Make all 4 jars Sunday night — they're ready to grab all week. Add yogurt and toppings fresh each morning for best texture and colour. Takes under 2 minutes to assemble.

  • Refrigerate (Option 1): Store chia pudding base in sealed jars up to 5 days. Keep mango and pineapple in a separate airtight container up to 3 days. Yogurt layer is best added fresh each morning.

  • Freeze for Later (Option 2): The chia base freezes well up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Always add yogurt and fresh fruit on the day of serving.
