Now, back to this Pineapple Coconut Chia Pudding
This is a blended chia pudding in which all the ingredients were added to a high-speed blender and blended until smooth. This blended pineapple coconut chia seed pudding can be eaten as soon as it is out of the blender.
While chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses, this article suggests there may be added benefits to consuming them ground or blended, such as better absorption of their omega-3 fatty acids and protein.
I love making blended chia puddings like this coconut pineapple chia seed pudding (and this papaya one) because they are just so quick to make and eat. There’s no waiting for 4 plus hours while the chia seeds absorb the liquid they are in.
This Pineapple Coconut Chia Pudding is loaded with nutrients, collagen, and flavor! And, it is made with only 7 ingredients.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Pineapple
I used thawed frozen pineapple in this recipe. This can be replaced with ripe pineapple. However, if you prefer another fruit like mango or banana, those two options would work as well. - Chia seeds
Black chia seeds are easily available and my choice for this blended chia seed pudding. But, they can be substituted with white chia seeds if you have some on hand. - Pineapple juice
Canned pineapple juice was used in this. It can be substituted with fresh pineapple juice or even the frozen pineapple juice that can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. However, if the pineapple is substituted with mango, use mango juice. And, if the pineapple is substituted with a banana, use some almond milk or cashew milk. - Coconut cream
Coconut cream has a higher fat content than coconut milk and is a lot thicker and creamier than coconut milk. I used coconut cream in this recipe as I was hoping to have this chia pudding taste like a dairy-free Dole whip dessert. However, coconut milk could be substituted to make this chia seed pudding healthier. - Coconut condensed milk
Coconut condensed milk makes this taste so indulgently creamy. However, it can be substituted with a sweetener such as maple syrup or agave. - Turmeric
I added a pinch of turmeric for color. It is totally optional and can be omitted. - Naked Marine Collagen
While Naked Marine collagen has no taste or smell, I often forget to add it to my morning coffee. So, I have found that mixing it into chia seed puddings or yogurt is a delicious way for me to get my dose of collagen.

This pudding looks amazing! I mean, chia seeds, rich coconut cream (and condensed coconut milk – my fave!), and luscious chunks of pineapple? That’s a perfect spring and summer dessert or snack!
You had me at pineapple + coconut! This sounds like a tropical paradise in a glass, Shashi. And the added protein thanks to the collagen is a great idea, too. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe
I didn’t know about a “blended chia pudding” before. Tried this recipe this morning with regular condensed milk and cream and it turned out amazing.
This definitely tastes like Dole whip!
