Coconut Yoghurt, Chia and Berry Pudding Recipe

My Coconut Yoghurt and Chia Pudding has a smooth and creamy texture that you will love. This pudding is a great way to start the day as it’s packed with many nutrients and will keep you full for hours.

Coconut yoghurt gives a delicious flavour to the pudding but that’s not all – it has many health benefits. It’s a probiotic-rich food and is a good source of calcium, healthy fats, vitamin C, potassium, zinc, selenium, magnesium and B vitamins. When purchasing coconut yoghurt from supermarkets just check it doesn’t contain any additives – you can check my Pot Set Vanilla Coconut Yoghurt recipe. Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fats, dietary fibre and protein, and are also packed with a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
