Take your childhood favorite banana pudding up a notch with rich and creamy coconut milk, nourishing chia seeds and a probiotic kick! Healthy enough to eat for breakfast and delicious enough to enjoy for dessert, this banana pudding is packed with fiber, is rich in potassium and is super-easy to make ahead of time for a grab-and-go meal or snack on a busy day.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the coconut milk, soy milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, salt and 4 of the bananas (broken in half) in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Put the chia seeds in a medium mixing bowl or a large glass jar and pour the banana mixture on top. Stir well to combine, and put the mixture in the refrigerator for 4 hours or up to overnight to thicken. (Stir the mixture after 1 hour, to ensure no chia seeds settle to the bottom of the bowl or jar.)
  2. Slice the remaining bananas. Spoon 3/4 cup chia pudding into each of 6 bowls, jars or parfait glasses, and top each serving with 1/4 cup yogurt, a sixth of the banana slices and 1/2 tablespoon coconut. Serve.

Cook’s Note

Serve with nondairy yogurt (coconut milk, soy milk or almond milk) instead of Greek yogurt for a dairy-free, vegan version.
