½ cup chia seeds
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Fresh fruit for topping (kiwi, mango, strawberries, or berries)
A handful of nuts or granola (optional)
Mix the pudding base: In a bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, vanilla, and sweetener.
Let it thicken: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, stirring once after the first hour.
Check consistency: If too thick, add a splash of milk and stir.
Add toppings: Before serving, top with fresh fruit slices and a sprinkle of nuts or granola.
Serve chilled: Enjoy as a healthy breakfast, snack, or light dessert.
