Creamy Coconut Lime Chia Pudding | Get Inspired Everyday!

This coconut lime combination has become one of our favorites. It’s one of those combinations you don’t expect to fall head over heels for when you’re a ‘dyed in the wool’ chocoholic, but what can you do!?! It all started with my Coconut Lime Ice Cream which has become Tyler’s most requested dessert.

And from there I started using the combination in so many different ways. For lots more coconut lime inspiration, be sure to check out the recipes at the end of the post. But this particular recipe started when I mentioned something about make a coconut lime chia pudding in a comment thread somewhere on the blog.

Someone read through that comment thread, and emailed to ask me for the recipe. So I knew I had to get on it! Well long story short, I got the recipe written down and sent off. But that was last October, and it’s taken me this long to actually get the recipe published to share with you as well!

My only excuse(s) is I got distracted with holiday recipes, and then in the beginning of the year I ended up photographing a cookbook of 70 recipes. So needless to say, I’ve been a little distracted, but finally I have another coconut lime recipe to share.

… and then you blend until smooth and creamy.

From there I always stir in the seeds because I don’t want them pulverized by the blender. This chia pudding keeps really well for 3-4 days. If you’re looking for one that keeps all week long, check out my Tropical Coconut Chia Pudding.

  1. The Creamy Coconut Lime Chia Pudding recipe looks fabulous except I have both high cholesterol & sugar so am sticking to the required diet until the next blood test! As you suggested, I can cut out the maple syrup but the Coconut Milk has way too much saturated fats. The coconut water I can cheat on occasionally so would use that. Any suggestions? I just recently found your site, thanks & your imagination is amazing.

    • I’m not sure how this would taste with coconut water but it’s worth a try since you need to be on a required diet. Coconut water isn’t as thick as coconut milk, so you might need to add an additional tablespoon of chia seeds. I sure hope you enjoy it, and maybe find some new favorites on the blog. Let me know if the coconut water ends up working or if you have anymore questions!

  2. If watching sugars for a diabetic – can I substitute monk fruit for the maple syrup? If so, how do I determine the proportions? I am so happy to find your wonderful site and recipes. Thank you!

    • I don’t know how much you should add, but with this recipe you can just add to taste until your desired sweetness is reached and it won’t affect the texture much to omit the maple syrup!

    • I wouldn’t use 1 cup of chia because they absorb way more liquid than hemp seeds, I’d try 2/3 cup and if it’s not thick enough, at a couple more tablespoons. I sure hope you enjoy it, and be sure and let me know if you have anymore questions!
