Ooooooh, boy! I have quite the delicious recipe for you!
Are you ready for this?!
Introducing Almond Joy Chia Pudding! Oh, yes.
This recipe combines three of my favorite flavors””chocolate, coconut, and almond””into a cool, creamy, and satisfying dessert that is actually somewhat healthy for you, thanks to those little chia seed orbs, which are packed with omega-3’s, protein, and fiber.
This pudding has a wonderfully sweet and coconut-y flavor that reminds me of melted Almond Joy ice cream. Mmm! So. Good. I love, love, love this new recipe, and I know you will too!

This looks to die for! I can’t wait to try it!
I love anything with coconut in it and this looks like such an amazing treat!
I really want to try chia pudding. I have heard so many good things about it but have never taken the plunge! This looks delicious.
Gaaaah, I’m in awwwwwe 🙂 I’m always looking for relish chia seed recipes! Thank you for the inspiration 🙂
What happened to your recipe page? I liked how it was organized before into categories. Any return of this format in CNC’s future?
Yum, I’ve tried chocolate chia seed pudding before but I love the almond joy idea!
I have been putting off trying chia pudding forever, but this no longer gives me an excuse! All my favorite flavors as well!
Sounds delicious! I love the combo of chocolate + coconut + almonds! Though let’s be honest…what doesn’t chocolate go with? 😉 I love that it’s a healthy and satisfying dessert. Would be a great way treat for Friday! Thanks for sharing!
Yum! This is going to be tonight’s after dinner dessert.
definitely making this tonight to try for breakfast tomorrow!! Thanks!
ah this is perfection!
Yummy! I make a similar smoothie with cacao powder in the mix too! Amazing combo!
Coconut and almond butter? Yep. Sign me up!!
Holy Yum! I add chia seeds to my overnight oats and love them! Any substitute ideas for the coconut extract? Maybe just add vanilla extract and then increase the coconut? I don’t have the extract but I want to make it right now! You’ve given this preggo a serious craving!
Yum! This looks like the perfect dessert! I love anything with coconut!
Oh my goodness that sounds amazing. I cannot wait to try!
I love a dessert that incorporates chia seeds. Great one!
All my favorites in one bowl!!!
I looove chia seeds but have never made a chia pudding- I want to try this sooo badly!! Wish the computer screen wasn’t stopping me 😉 LOL
This recipe looks awesome. I love chia pudding! Totally random but I saw this stationery company and thought of you – it’s all about pugs! http://www.lydiaandpugs.com
Very cute! Thanks for sharing the link!!
awesome looking recipe! definitely trying this…
Looks amazing!!!!!!
Totally making this for my midnight nursing snack tonight!!
Chis pudding is seriously my favorite dessert! My mom used to make it for me all the time, when I was younger (Not the exact recipe, but close) and I will defiantly try to make it for myself one day! ^____^
Thanks for sharing the recipe with us! Following you on Bloglovin’ now! xx
This sounds AMAZING!! I shared on my facebook page. I will be trying this! I have a decadent, healthy chia seed chocolate mousse on my website. I’m a little obsessed with chia seeds! <3 Emily
My comment has nothing to do with the delicious pudding! lol. You always have the cutest headbands and I especially love the one in the picture above. Where do you get your sport and recreational headbands? With 3 boys in baseball in the hot humid weather here in south Louisiana I always have my hair up and I just thought a cute headband can change things up a little. Thanks Tina! Love your blog…look forward to reading it every morning.
They’re from JUNK or BIC bands! 😄
This looks amazing!
I made this, following the recipe, except I substituted chocolate almond milk and a little greek vanilla yogurt for the plain almond milk, didn’t use the maple syrup since my coconut flakes have sugar on them, and because I didn’t have any coconut extract, I used my Barlean’s pina colada flavored fish oil swirl. It is heavenly! Thanks for posting this recipe! It is amazing how the chia seeds absorb the liquid, making it pudding-like.
Oooh! I share the same favorites and am on a chia pudding kick right now, so I’ll definitely be trying this!
Ahhhh what a great idea! I don’t know why I never added almond butter to chia pudding before. Making this for tomorrow’s breakfast!
I am not lying at all when I say I am ACTUALLY drooling.
This looks sooooo good and I’m currently obsessed with Chia seeds so I cannot wait to try this!!
Thanks for sharing xx
I went to bed last night and couldn’t wait to wake up this morning to eat it! It was very tasty! Might have to do a repeat for tomorrow’s breakfast! 🙂
So, I’ve made this about five times since you posted this. It’s sooooo good. Of course I tweaked it a bit by using peanut butter instead of almond and vanilla extract (I didn’t have any coconut and when I tried almond extract the first time it was too much almond). I’ve had it for dessert, for breakfast … I just want it all the time now!
Yay! So glad you like it!! 😄
Okay, after making this a billion times I used the idea as the basis for a peanut butter cup chia pudding … also amazing. Now I’ve got chia pudding coming out of my ears …
