Hello my dear readers,
This week we have discovered kiwi and we have seen that it has a lot of benefits.
I love kiwi and most of the time I eat it for breakfast. So today I’ll share with you a healthy and easy breakfast: chia pudding with coconut milk and kiwi.
I believe by now everyone heard about chia seeds and how healthy it is but have you ever tried to make it at home? It is so so easy to prepare a breakfast which is not only delicious but also gives you a lot of energy, antioxidants and vitamins.
Chia seeds are very rich in calcium, they contain about 5 times more than cow’s milk, mineral salts (selenium, zinc, magnesium, iron and potassium), vitamins (especially vitamin C and A), Omega 3 and Omega 6 (unsaturated fatty acids, ie the good ones). They have antioxidant properties, same as kiwis, and are a generous source of amino acids (cysteine, lysine, methionine). Moreover, they perform an important balancing action for the body by leveling blood sugars, cholesterol and regulating blood pressure. They are a valid aid to eliminate toxins and also to regulate the intestine. But be careful not to exaggerate, because a high consumption of chia seeds could have laxative effects. The recommended daily dose is 15-20 grams.
And now let’s talk about this ridiculously easy recipe. It is prepared in three simple steps and with highly available ingredients in any supermarket.
Let’s see what we need for 2 portions:
- 40 gr of chia seeds
- 350 ml of coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
- 4 kiwis
- 1/2 vanilla pod or vanilla essence
- coconut flakes or muesli
How to do it:
Mix the honey or maple syrup with coconut cream, then, add the chia seeds, the vanilla seeds or vanilla essence, give another stir and let it rest for 20 minutes (or all night in the refrigerator, depending on how much time you have available).
Peel the kiwis. Blend 3 and slice the remaining one.
Divide the kiwi puree into two glasses. Pour the pudding over it, garnish with kiwi slices and coconut flakes or muesli.
I did my homemade muesli a few days back and were really delicious. I have used oats, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds and cornflakes, I have toss them with maple syrup and I have roasted them for around 30-40 minutes at 150 degrees C. Once ready, I have added some chopped dried apricots and my muesli were ready.
Super easy and super healthy and delicious breakfast. Exactly what you need to start the day in a good way 😉

È strepitoso, peccato non poterlo assaggiare a causa della nostra allergia ai kiwi… Ma è goloso veramente tanto… Nemo&Nancy di NemoInCucina!!!
Grazie mille! Allergia ai kiwi? Oh, mi dispiace…
Per fortuna sta bene con qualsiasi altra frutta 🙂
Buon fine settimana a voi!
A quick ratio is 1/4 cup of chia seeds to 1 cup of milk. I double this and sweeten it with a little maple syrup + vanilla.
Haven’t had chia seed pudding with kiwi before and it sounds delish! I’ve had it with mangos and coconut flakes though. 😋
Oh yes, cups measurements are quick indeed, thank you Hilary 😉
Yes, also in this case I’ve sweetened it with maple syrup, I like it better than with honey 🍯😊
I guess is delicious with any fruits 😊😉 I love mangoes too 😉
Wish you a wonderful weekend Hilary! 😉🌞
This is the best ratio for cup measurements that I was able to find, after several trial and error attempts. Hopefully kiwis go on sale so I can buy them! Have a good weekend as well. 🤗🌸🌸
Thank you Hilary! I’ll try it too 😉🤗🌸
I love kiwi! This definitely looks yummy! 😋
Thank you Winnie! Is really delicious! 😋
You’re welcome! 😋
Hey Ribanna, Sounds very healthy. clarify me how do u make cocunut cream🤔. Love to try it. does two spoons of honey will make it sweet? coz i love sweet 😋 Thanks for this beautiful post. Have a beautiful day ✨🤗✍️
Hi Simon, the coconut cream is made by steeping shredded coconut in hot coconut water combined with cream or milk and then cooled. However you may easily find it in the supermarket 😉 Here in Singapore I can find different levels of density of the coconut cream…you may also use the coconut milk, it will only be a little bit less creamy…For this quantities, 2 spoons of honey will make it sweeter enough 😉😋🍯
Thank you for reading Simon and for your kind words! Wish you a wonderful weekend! 🤗🤗
Hey Ribanna, Thats kind of you for explaining the stuff. I’ll try for that in Market or will ahead with coconut milk😉 Thanks for your time. Wish you also a beautiful happy weekend ✨🤗✍️
My pleasure Simon! If you try it let me know how you like it 😉🤗

This looks so good! I have made a similar dish with raspberries, but will try with the kiwi too.
Oh wow, also with raspberries must look gorgeous 😉 I love it as is so versatile and goes well with any fruits 😉😋
I also love that I can make these “desserts” for the kids and feel really good about it.
Looks amazing!
Thank you very much 😉

Wow! This looks scrumptious! I like the addition of kiwi puree for its lovely green color as it elevates this pudding to a whole new level.
Thank you very much Megala for your kind words! Yes, it looks really great and it tastes amazing 🙂
Hello Ribana! Thanks for sharing this healthy recipe idea. Looks sooo delicious. I never tried to make chia at home and I will definitely give it a try. I love kiwi too so this recipe is perfect for me. Although, it must be delicious with raspberries as well. Have a lovely weekend my friend.
Hello dear Dominique, thank you very much for stopping by! Is really simple to make chia at home and the best part is that it goes well with any fruits 🙂
