Ingredients:

  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup (80g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, agave nectar, or sweetener to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit (mango, berries, kiwi), toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, granola, nut butter

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, sweetener, and salt until well combined. Ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or bowls. Seal with lids or cover with plastic wrap.
  3. Let the pudding sit for 15-30 minutes, then stir well to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Place back in the refrigerator.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The pudding will thicken as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
  5. Before serving, stir the coconut milk chia pudding and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or other desired toppings.
