Healthy Coconut Milk Chia Pudding (Pina Colada Copycat)

By Evelyn

It’s great to enjoy a traditional pina colada every now and then, but this type of pina colada recipe is slightly different. It’s alcohol-free, but just as fun thanks to the coconut-flavored chia pudding. Chia seeds take on a pudding like consistency when soaked in liquid. The coconut milk in this recipe really gives it a tropical vibe, so it’s perfect for the summer or any time of year really if you can get your hands on some sweet pineapple. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, creamy and a hint of tanginess all rolled into one delicious chia pudding almond milk dessert.
