Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 250ml coconut milk (can substitute with almond milk or regular milk)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the chia seed pudding
In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are fully incorporated. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of chia seeds. - Refrigerate
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like texture. - Prepare the berries
While the chia pudding sets, wash and slice the mixed berries. You can use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a vibrant, fresh flavor. - Assemble the pudding
Once the chia pudding is ready, spoon it into serving bowls or glasses. Top with the fresh berries, arranging them neatly over the pudding. - Garnish and serve
For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top of the berries. Add a few mint leaves for a fresh, aromatic touch. - Enjoy!
This coconut chia seed pudding is creamy, delicious, and packed with nutrients. It makes for a perfect healthy dessert or breakfast.
This recipe is light yet satisfying, with the natural sweetness of coconut and berries complementing the texture of the chia seeds.
