Juicy Peach Mint Chia Pudding – a quick and easy, juicy sweet recipe that celebrates the freshness of the season. Great as a satisfying breakfast or snack.
I know it is only May, but the peaches I found over the weekend tasted like they were picked straight out of the middle of summer. So juicy sweet, really!
Messy eating outside in the sunshine juicy.
Save a couple few to make some Peach Mint recipes juicy.
Run back to the store for more that same afternoon juicy.
If these peaches are any indication of things to come, I have good feelings about the summer produce this year, you guys. Cannot wait to walk through the farmers markets each weekend and eat all the fresh things.
I am still making chia pudding a lot lately – I have a few recipes just waiting to be shared!
This Juicy Peach Mint Chia Pudding recipe is brand new from the weekend, though – I just couldn’t wait. I hope fresh peaches like these are abundantly available so you can make this soon too.
This one has a light sweetness that I generally aim for. The sweet from the peaches is mild when blended into pudding, and serving it with extra pieces of fresh juicy peach is how I enjoyed it all weekend. The mint adds additional freshness, and the rest of the sweet comes from the dates.
So good!

I found some really good peaches recently too! Being from Georgia, you know I love a good, juicy peach. 😉
It’s been far too long since I’ve made chia pudding. I used to do something like a chia peach cobbler. Must try this with the dates!
Kristina Sloggett says
indeed! I was happily surprised these early peaches were SO good! chia peach cobbler – I need to know about this!
Bianca says
Nice! I love chia pudding. I’ve been adding a little chia pudding as a topping for my smoothie bowls lately. Yum! Will have to try this soon when the fresh peaches come in.
Kristina Sloggett says
I am loving chia right now – suddenly I am using it a lot more, like I used to. I like the crunchy topping in a smoothie too…

I have peaches in the fridge! I may just have this for breakfast tomorrow!
