Orange Juice Strawberry Coconut Chia Pudding

two glasses with coconut orange strawberry chia pudding with black spoons in them and a carafe of orange juice behind them.

This sunny orange juice strawberry coconut chia pudding made with just a few simple ingredients, including 100% orange juice, is a nutritious make-ahead breakfast or snack that's just perfect for summer!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups 100% orange juice
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup coconut Greek yogurt or coconut plant-based yogurt, or 2 (5.3 oz) containers
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • Shredded coconut, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large container with a lid, muddle the strawberries.
  2. Add 100% orange juice and yogurt and whisk to combine. Stir in chia seeds.
  3. Cover the container and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid.
  4. Divide into individual servings, top with shredded coconut (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the yogurt and 100% orange juice are mixed well before adding the chia seeds so you get a smooth chia pudding.
  • Similarly, make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid mixture before sticking it in the refrigerator to avoid clumps of seeds later.
  • If your chia pudding is too runny in the morning, stir in a few more chia seeds and let it sit for a few minutes. If it's too thick, stir in a little bit more OJ.
  • I like to use frozen, thawed strawberries in this recipe, but fresh strawberries are great too.
  • If you want to make this recipe vegan and/or dairy-free, use your favorite coconut plant-based yogurt. Pick one with live active cultures in the ingredients for the benefit of probiotics.
