About the recipe

This is one of those recipes I come back to when I want something easy, nourishing and ready to go — especially on busy mornings. It takes just a few minutes to prep the night before, and by morning you’ve got a beautiful, soft chia pudding that you can share with your little one.

I love recipes like this because it means you’re not making separate meals. You can sit down and eat the same thing together, which feels like such a small win in those early days of solids.

Chia pudding is such a staple in our house. It’s gentle on little tummies, naturally nutrient-dense, and perfect for those times when digestion might need a bit of extra support. Plus the tropical flavours just make it feel a little bit more fun (and usually a bit more likely to be eaten!).

Age Appropriate:

8 months+

Ingredients

3 tablespoons chia seeds

3/4 cup fresh orange juice

2/3 cup coconut yoghurt

1 passionfruit (pulp)

Method

If making fresh juice, squeeze the oranges until you have enough juice.

Add the chia seeds to a jar or bowl.

Pour in the orange juice, coconut yoghurt and passionfruit pulp, then mix well to combine.

Place the lid on and give it another good shake or stir.

Refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully gel.

Before serving, give it another good stir to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped at the bottom.

Ingredient Swaps:
Orange juice can be swapped for milk or coconut milk for a less citrusy flavour
Coconut yoghurt can be replaced with natural or Greek yoghurt
Passionfruit can be swapped for mango or berries depending on season
You can add a little mashed banana if extra sweetness is desired
