Coconut Chia Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Mix
01 -
1/2 teaspoon optional vanilla (can skip)
02 -
A pinch of cinnamon or favorite spices (optional)
03 -
2-3 tablespoons chia seeds
04 -
1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, tweak sweetness as you like
05 -
1 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
→ Optional Add-ons
06 -
Chopped nuts or seeds
07 -
Tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, or banana
08 -
A little extra honey or maple syrup on top
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a medium bowl and combine coconut milk, vanilla (if using), sweetener, chia seeds, and any spices you prefer. Stir well until smooth and without lumps.
02 -
Let the mix sit out for 10-15 minutes. Stir again to separate any seeds that stuck together, so it stays smooth as the seeds thicken the mixture.
03 -
Cover the mix with a lid or plastic wrap, then refrigerate. It'll need at least 2 hours—or leave it overnight—to get that pudding texture.
04 -
Before you dig in, give the pudding another good stir. If it feels too firm for your liking, add some more coconut milk bit by bit and mix until you're happy with it.
05 -
Dish out the chilled pudding and serve it in individual bowls or just one big one. Sprinkle on chopped nuts, fruits, or other toppings you love. Add a drizzle of extra sweetness if you're in the mood.
# Notes:
01 -
Store it in a sealed container in your fridge. It keeps well for up to 5 days, so you can prep ahead for the week.
02 -
You can tweak the amount of chia seeds. More seeds will make it thicker, while fewer will keep it looser.
03 -
Packed with fiber, fats, and antioxidants from coconut and chia, this makes a great snack or breakfast option.
