Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups canned full-fat coconut milk (well-shaken)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or overnight, until it thickens to a creamy pudding consistency.
- Serve: When ready to eat, divide the pudding into individual bowls or jars. Top each serving with fresh mixed berries, a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired, and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
Notes
- Stir well again before serving if the pudding has separated.
- Adjust sweetness to taste, or use stevia for a sugar-free version.
- The pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
- Try adding a layer of berry compote or nut butter for extra flavor and texture.
