Ingredients
  

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for a rich, creamy texture)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey if you prefer)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, fresh fruit (like mango, kiwi, or mixed berries), chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts), or dark chocolate shavings for a delightful finish

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the full-fat coconut milk and almond milk. Use a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Add the chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid, preventing any clumping.

      Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, though overnight is ideal to achieve a truly pudding-like consistency as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.

        Once the pudding has set, remove it from the fridge. Stir the mixture well to break up any clumps that may have formed. If the pudding appears thicker than you prefer, simply stir in a splash of almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.

          Portion the chia pudding into individual bowls or jars for serving. Enhance your creation by generously topping each serving with your preferred toppings, such as a sprinkle of shredded coconut, slices of fresh fruit, a handful of nuts, or a few dark chocolate shavings for a touch of indulgence.

            Enjoy this refreshing and wholesome chia pudding chilled as a nutritious breakfast, satisfying snack, or enticing dessert!
