Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (full-fat for creamier texture)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the coconut milk and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir before serving and adjust consistency with more coconut milk if needed.
Notes
- Add fresh fruits, granola, or a drizzle of honey for toppings.
- You can experiment with other plant-based milks or sweeteners for different flavors.
