Ube Chia Pudding

0 · ·

If you love Fillipino ube desserts, you have to try this simple chia seed pudding infused with the tasty purple yam! It’s a rich, creamy low-calorie breakfast that you can prep in minutes.

Overhead view of three small mason jars are filled with a thick purple colored ube chia pudding on a white background.

If you’ve never tried ube before, you’re in for a treat. It’s a starchy root vegetable (kinda like a potato but prettier), with a naturally sweet, nutty flavor. It’s often used in boba teas, creamy desserts, and all kinds of instagram-worthy dishes.

This chia pudding combines creamy coconut milk with the purple vegetable to make a light, yet satisfying dessert that is easy to get hooked on!  It’s the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you’re eating dessert for breakfast, but secretly, it’s packed with fiber, healthy fats, and all sorts of other good stuff.

Best part? No baking, no fancy technique – just blend, mix, and chill. It’s that simple!

Ingredients

  • Chia seeds – I recommend buying large containers of chia seeds to save money. You can meal prep a different chia pudding flavor every week!
  • Purple potato powder – Read the ingredients on any purple sweet potato powder you purchase to make sure it isn’t made with fillers. I prefer this brand.
  • Coconut milk – Coconut is often paired with ube, so I recommend it with this chia pudding. You can, however, substitute any other milk you’d prefer.
  • Maple syrup – The vanilla and caramel notes of real maple syrup are perfect for this recipe, but honey and other sweeteners also work.

Tips

  1. If you don’t love the texture of chia pudding, try blending everything together before storing in the fridge. Same flavor, same nutrients, but delivered via a silky smooth texture.
  2. Customize it with your favorite toppings. I like crunchy coconut chips, coconut flakes, fresh or dehydrated strawberries, and chopped macadamia nuts.

A small mason jar filled with a light purple colored ube chia pudding is in focus in the foreground. More jars of the pudding and a purple sweet potato that's been cut in half are out of focus in the background.

If you like this recipe, try my chocolate chia pudding (my favorite dessert when I’m in a calorie deficit!), or this lighter spirulina chia pudding that’s absolutely packed with nutrients.
