Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup mixed fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries)
- Shredded coconut or nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Prevent Clumping: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the mixture to thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: When ready to serve, stir the pudding well. Spoon it into individual bowls or jars.
- Add Toppings: Top the pudding with fresh mixed berries and, if desired, sprinkle with shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Use light coconut milk for a lower-calorie version; however, expect a slightly thinner pudding texture.
- This pudding maintains quality for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, making it convenient for meal prepping.
