Peach Chia Pudding is a fun summertime treat! With juicy fresh peaches, this fruity pudding is great as a healthy breakfast or snack. Just blend up the ingredients and then add the mix and chia seeds into a jar and you're good to go.
Hey Internet, we're back with another easy breakfast. It's peach season where we are and we've been getting a box of them whenever we can. They get ripe pretty fast, so we have a nice flow of juicy peaches right now.
We used peaches in our Vegan Dutch Baby but we've been sorely lacking recipes that use them. So, we tossed some of them into a blender to make a peach puree with a little non-dairy milk and sweetener. That peach mixture tasted great, so we poured it into jars and added chia seeds to make peach puddings. After a few hours we had a healthy snack, which we then topped with some Caramelized Peaches. Using both recipes was a tasty combo that was a real peach bomb!
This recipe is basically the summer version of our Apple Pie Chia Pudding with Caramelized Apples.
What's great with chia seed pudding recipes is that they make for great meal prep recipes. They can be made the night before you need them, they're already in an airtight container, and they last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Make these whenever you need a quick breakfast you can take on the go!

Ingredients
Pick up these simple ingredients the next time you're at a grocery store. See the recipe card at the bottom of this post for full ingredients, instructions, and accurate nutritional information (to the best of my ability; please consult your physician or healthcare professional if you have specific dietary needs). I give substitutions for the ingredients in the section below this one, so most people can still make this recipe!
- 1-2 Ripe Peaches, Pit Removed: Pitting a peach is easy! To make it even easier, stick them in the fridge beforehand (this will also slow the ripening process if you need to delay them getting too soft). Next, slice the peach in half, around the crease, or suture, of the fruit. To separate, twist the two halves in opposite directions. The pit, which will be in one half, should be easy to remove by hand if you chilled them. Otherwise, gently remove it with a spoon if it won't come out.
- 1 Cup Soy Milk
- 4 Tablespoons White Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are these tiny seeds that causes liquids to gel up. Make sure to divide these based on the number of containers you have. More on that in a second.
- 2 Tablespoons Blue Agave
- 0.5-1 Batch Caramelized Peaches, Optional
Substitutions
- Peaches: Peaches are the main ingredient, but chia puddings are very flexible! Obviously this recipe would work very well with other stone fruit such as nectarines, plums or apricots. You could try as different fruits with the base recipe or try our Lemon Blueberry Chia Pudding or Chocolate Chia Pudding.
- Soy Milk: Any other plant-based milk should work for this recipe. Almond milk, oat milk and cashew milk should all be a one-to-one replacement for this recipe. Full-fat coconut milk would result in a very rich creamy chia pudding, but it is higher in fat than other non-dairy milk.
- Chia Seeds: You can use black chia seeds for this what is and cream chia pudding recipe. We just found white ones were more aesthetically pleasing in the finished recipe. The best chia pudding should also look the best!
- Agave: Maple syrup or date syrup will work great. The key thing is you want a liquid sweetener because they will dissolve much easier into the mixture we are going to make. Blending your a pitted Medjool date or two is a great no added sugar option if you want to make this recipe fruit sweetened and sugar free snack.
How to Make Peach Chia Pudding
- Slice the Peaches: Cut the peaches along the crease, or suture of the fruit, carefully twisting the fruit so the blade of your knife goes around the pit. To separate the halves, twist them in opposite directions with your hands. Next, remove the pit with either your fingers or a spoon. Cut the peaches into slices.
- Add to Blender: Add the peach slices, agave and the cup of milk to a blender. Blend until smooth. Do NOT add the chia seeds at this time (Unless you do not enjoy the texture of gelled chia seeds. Then you can blend everything together. It will darken the mixture but it will taste fine.).
- Measure Out the Chia: Get out your containers for your vegan chia pudding. Divide the chia pudding according to the number of containers you plan to use. For example, if you plan to use 2 containers, divide the chia seeds into 2 separate dishes with 2 tablespoons in each.
- Pour into Containers: Equally pour the contents of your blender into the jars or containers you are using. Add it slowly to be able to make changes to the levels of the puree peaches.
- Add the Chia: Pour the divided chia seeds into each container. Mix everything together until the chia is well incorporated.
- Chill: Add the chia seed mixture to a refrigerator. Wait at least 2 hours or until the pudding has thickened. It can wait until the next day. Serve, top with caramelized peaches if you like and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! You could add fresh basil or fresh mint leaves. Just add them to the bender after you blend the main ingredients. Just give them a light blitz to preserve the herbs. You could also add a little vanilla extract. For a super healthy chia pudding recipe, try using pitted dates instead of agave to sweeten them.
If you want a more decadent breakfast, you could top it with vegan whipped cream or some coconut ice cream. For some lighter flavors, add some fresh peach slices to the top of your puddings.
