While there aren’t a ton of alternatives or additions to use in this recipe, here are a few ideas.

If you’re not a huge fan of coconut, then you could use yogurt instead of the coconut milk. Otherwise, there aren’t many healthy ingredients that will thicken the pudding enough for the right consistency.

Instead of chia seeds or in addition to for added nutrients, you could add in flax seeds or hemp seeds.
