Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat or light, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Toppings of choice (berries, shredded coconut, nuts, granola, chocolate chips, etc.)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 2: Let It Rest
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
Step 3: Refrigerate
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Step 4: Stir and Check Consistency
Before serving, stir the pudding again to ensure a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more coconut milk to loosen it up.
Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve
Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, granola, or sweeteners before serving. Enjoy chilled!
