Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Chia seeds These tiny powerhouses thicken the pudding.
  • 2 cups Coconut milk Adds a rich, creamy flavor. Can substitute with almond, oat, or dairy milk.
  • 2 tbsp Honey or maple syrup Sweetens the pudding.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
Toppings
  • 1 cup Fresh fruit (mango, berries, or banana) Adds a refreshing burst of flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid. Stir again to break up any clumps.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. When you’re ready to enjoy, give it a good stir and layer in your favorite fresh fruit or toppings before digging in!

Notes

Chia seeds need time to expand. Stir well to avoid clumping. You can experiment with flavors like cocoa powder or cinnamon, and be creative with toppings like nuts and seeds. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
