Chia Seed Pudding with Coconut Milk and Berries
Chia Seed Pudding with Coconut Milk and Berries is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts or snacks. It's so simple to make, packed with nutrients, and incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for a healthy and satisfying treat that requires minimal effort, you’ve come to the right place.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat or light
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, agave, or your favorite sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut nuts, more berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup (or your sweetener of choice), and vanilla extract.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are well combined. This helps prevent clumping.
- Let It Sit: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the coconut milk and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir Again: After the pudding has chilled, give it another good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Chia Seed Pudding with Coconut Milk and Berries to a serving dish. Garnish with additional toppings if desired, such as shredded coconut, nuts, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy immediately!
