3 Latte-Inspired Chia Puddings (in the blender!)

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

The BEST ultra creamy chia seed pudding made in the blender with 3 latte inspired flavors to choose from – breakfast, dessert, or perfect prep ahead snack!

3 Latte-Inspired Chia Puddings (in the blender!)
THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY VITAMIX

Last year about this time I published a post titled: Favorite Chia Pudding. It is still my favorite. And it has become a favorite for many of you too, so much so that it was actually the most popular recipe on the blog for 2018.

Because of all the love for that recipe, and because I could do eat chia pudding every day, and because there are approximately 12 billion flavor directions you can go with chia pudding – it’s time for part 2.

3 Latte-Inspired Chia Puddings (in the blender!)

With chia pudding it’s more about the ratio/method than the ingredients/flavors. Which is what set that recipe apart from the rest, and had so many of you saying things like: “Solid recipe! Doing this in the Vitamix is the trick” and “The consistency was perfect!”

So what makes this recipe – if I’m being humble – the best of all the chia puddings? There are a 3 key things:

  1. The extra creamy combination of full-fat coconut milk and almond milk (or in this case, coffee).
  2. The slightly higher ratio of chia seeds to liquid, I use 1:4.
  3. The blender pulsing method for mixing everything together so there are zero clumps. And it’s less effort too!

Oh and honorable mention to SALT. If you haven’t been pinch-of-salting your chia pudding, you’ve been doing it wrong.

All of the above combined will create the perfect pudding of your chia seed dreams. But it’s that last one, the blender one, that I really need you to try. It’s a game/life changer.

Vitamix A3500

Now of course when I say blender I mean my beloved Vitamix A3500 ♡ And you know that pulse lever/button on the Vitamix opposite the on/off lever that you don’t get to use nearly often enough? THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.

Here’s what you’re gonna do:

  • Add all the ingredients to the blender, liquids first.
  • Pulse 3-4 times on low speed.
  • Let it sit for a couple of minutes (the seeds will sink to the bottom), then pulse again.
  • Let it sit again. Pulse again. Sit. Pulse. You get the idea. Until the seeds remain evenly distributed (usually 3-4 rounds of pulsing).
  • Pour into a jar and refrigerate (ideally overnight). It will be MUCH thicker after chilling thanks to the full fat coconut milk.

The gentleness of the pulse function on the Vitamix and the lowest speed setting won’t grind up the chia seeds, it will just mix and eliminate any lumps. Trust me, this works much better than stirring or shaking in a jar. I usually prep a batch while I’m already in the kitchen cooking, so pulsing every few minutes is nbd.

3 Latte-Inspired Chia Puddings (in the blender!)

So now to the fun part – these flavors!

Because I am currently obsessed with all the warm beverages (who isn’t, it’s January?) and I spend way too much time (read: money) at coffee shops working, they are all inspired by favorite latte flavors.

Vanilla Latte Chia Pudding

Vanilla latte. My go-to order if I’m getting coffee – with almond milk, hot or iced depending on the weather, please and thank you.

Spiced Chai Chia Pudding

Spiced chai. A coffee-free option for you, but so flavorful with a combination of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and vanilla.

Mint Mocha Chia Pudding

Mint mocha. You knew I had to include chocolate somehow. With mint and coffee in creamy chia form, it’s the definition of dessert for breakfast.

Or if you are looking for less caffeinated chia options, try: chocolate, vanilla, matcha (okay still a lil caffeinated), or banana instead!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
