Made with just a few simple ingredients, it’s endlessly customizable—top it with berries, nuts, or coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture. Whether you’re following the 10-Day Detox or simply want a wholesome way to start your day, this recipe checks all the boxes.
Coconut Chia Pudding
2
Prep time:
5 min
Cook time:
4 hr - overnight
Ingredients
- 1½ cups organic unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh berries, nuts, coconut flakes for topping (optional, detox-approved)
Method
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl or jar, add the chia seeds, coconut milk, and optional vanilla extract and cinnamon. Stir or shake well to combine, ensuring there are no clumps of chia seeds.
Step 2
Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Step 3
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If it's too thick, you can add a splash of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Step 4
Top with fresh berries, nuts, or other detox-approved toppings if desired.

If you’re not a bodybuilder or pro athlete, you probably don’t think about muscle mass a lot. But maintaining a healthy level of muscle mass is crucial for your overall health and well-being, especially as you get older. It always surprises my patients when I tell them age-related muscle loss can start as early as your 30s!
That’s why I’m such a fan of PerfectAmino. It delivers just the right amount of essential amino acids our bodies need, and in a form that’s easy to use. It’s one of the simplest ways I’ve found to help protect my muscles, support recovery, and feel my best.
