When you hear "chia seeds," you might think, "I'm definitely not going to like them." And yet… today's recipe might just change your mind. This chia pudding, also known as pudding, is a healthy, fresh, and delicious breakfast or snack, ready in just 5 minutes.
Made with plant-based milk of your choice (homemade almond milk or coconut milk), a touch of vanilla extract, acacia honey or maple syrup, and topped with fresh seasonal fruit like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mangoes, or bananas, it offers a smooth, no-bake texture and is gluten-free and lactose-free.
Simply mix the ingredients in a large bowl, stir with a spoon to avoid lumps, then let it rest overnight in the refrigerator in an airtight container. If you're still not convinced, remember that when warmer weather returns, our cravings change. Indeed, the mornings are getting milder, the light streams in earlier through the window, and we feel that instinctive need for freshness, lightness, and indulgence to start the day.
It is precisely in this spirit that this Healthy Summer Breakfast was born: a bowl that is nourishing, comforting, and radiant, designed to take care of the body… without ever forgetting pleasure.
Because yes, a healthy breakfast can and should still be delicious.
So we found a mouthwatering recipe prepared by Natacha (@ellemange_saint on Instagram), a content creator passionate about healthy food.
For our part, we're among those who have long said:
"Chia pudding? Not for me..."
Too gelatinous a texture, a slightly strange mouthfeel... until the day we tried a different approach.
The turning point? The combination of coconut milk and Greek yogurt.
The result:
a creamy and enveloping texture,
no unpleasant gelatinous sensation,
a mild and comforting taste.
Make chia pudding a staple of your summer mornings too, and this one is undoubtedly our favorite.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal because we also eat with our eyes this chia pudding is a nourishing, comforting, and deeply nutritious little bowl. Easy to make, no cooking required, and ready in minutes, it can be enjoyed for lunch, as a snack, or as a light dessert.
Made with fresh fruit (strawberries, blackberries, apple, or banana, depending on the season), organic chia seeds, yogurt, and plant-based milk (almond or coconut), this vegetarian dish ticks all the boxes for a balanced diet:
Protein from the yogurt to support energy and satiety
Fiber and omega-3 fatty acids from the chia seeds, ideal for digestive comfort
Vitamins and minerals from the berries and simple, unprocessed ingredients
The whole thing is delicately sweetened with Hédène honey, or, if you prefer, a drizzle of agave syrup. A natural sweetness, without refined sugar, that respects the flavor of the ingredients and transforms this bowl into a truly healthy treat.
Prepared in a glass or airtight container, this pudding keeps easily and can be made ahead of time and then left to chill in the refrigerator. It's the perfect way to save time, share a delicious moment, or simply indulge in a little self-care, one spoonful at a time.
A simple, homemade bowl that's good for the body… and for life?
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
80g of coconut milk
60g of Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of acacia honey @mielshedene
A good chia pudding deserves a contrast of textures: here, it's all about golden crunch.
3 tablespoons of rolled oats
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of lavender honey (@mielshedene)
1 small capful of vanilla extract
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, then fry them in a pan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the flakes are lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside and let cool for maximum crispness.
Place the chilled chia pudding in the bottom of a bowl.
Add the crunchy granola, then top with fresh seasonal fruit (mango, berries, banana, kiwi, etc.).
Finally, drizzle with a little Hédène honey, just enough to enhance the flavor.
If your granola hasn't hardened yet, place it in the freezer for a few minutes: the thermal shock will instantly enhance the crunch.
Ce petit-déjeuner est une invitation :
à ralentir,
à respirer,
à savourer l’instant.
Un bol lumineux, paisible, à déguster avec gratitude que ce soit sur une terrasse ensoleillée, près d’une fenêtre ouverte, ou simplement en prenant le temps.
A breakfast that nourishes both body and mind.
