Basic Chia Pudding

Basic Chia Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

Pudding:
1 can light coconut milk
1/3 cup chia seeds, white or black
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup or agave nectar)

Toppings:
Fresh fruit (I use berries and sometimes mangoes)
Coconut shreds or chips
Sliced almonds

Directions

  1. Stir all ingredients in a bowl. You can add more sweetener to taste, if you’d like (this recipe is mildly sweet).
  2. Chill for at least 2 hours, but overnight if possible. When you take your pudding out, make sure it has a thick consistency and the chia seeds have gelled.
  3. This one is topped with unsweetened coconut flakes, mixed berries, and sliced almonds, for added sweetness, crunch, and flavor.
