Coconut Milk Chia Pudding (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Layer

01 - 1/2 teaspoon optional vanilla flavoring

02 - A pinch of cinnamon or other favorite spices (optional)

03 - 2-3 tablespoons of chia seeds

04 - 1 cup of plain, unsweetened coconut milk

05 - 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey, add more if you like it sweeter

→ Possible Toppers

06 - Chopped tropical fruits like pineapples, mangoes, or bananas

07 - Sprinkle of nuts or seeds

08 - A little extra honey or syrup drizzled on top

# Instructions:

01 - Grab a medium bowl and mix together the coconut milk, chia seeds, sweetener of your choice, vanilla (if you want), and any spices you like. Make sure there aren't any lumps; stir it well!

02 - Leave the mixture on the counter for 10-15 minutes. Give it another stir to break up any chunks of chia seeds soaking up liquid awkwardly.

03 - Cover or move the mixture into a container with a lid. Pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours or, better yet, overnight so it thickens into a creamy pudding.

04 - Before eating, stir it up one more time to make it all smooth. Too thick? No problem—pour in a bit more coconut milk and mix well.

05 - Scoop into bowls or serving cups. Pile on fruits, nuts, seeds, or drizzle extra sweetener over the top if you'd like. Serve cold.

# Notes:

01 - Keep leftovers sealed in the fridge for up to five days. Great for prepping ahead of time!

02 - Want it thicker or thinner? Use more chia seeds or add extra liquid depending on the texture you want.

03 - Packed with good fats, fiber, and antioxidants, this dish works as a nutritious snack or breakfast.
