Chia Seed Pudding - 1

Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup canned coconut milk,* well stirred
  • 3.5 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 - 3 tsp real maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp coconut extract**
  • 1 pinch salt

  • Fresh chopped fruit (berries, mangoes, peaches, bananas, etc)
  • Shredded coconut
  • Yogurt
  • Granola
  • Chopped nuts or runny nut butter

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk together almond milk, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, coconut extract and salt.
  • Let rest 5 to 10 minutes then whisk again to break up any clumps of seeds.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours.
  • Add toppings or optionally serve with pureed fruit.**** Serve cold.

Notes

  1. *I find in colder months coconut milk tends to solidify more easily and is lumpy. If so just heat the portion using in a small microwave safe bowl for about 20 seconds until smooth.
  2. **Coconut extract is highly recommend for the best flavor but if you don’t have it you can also use 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  3. ***Topping ideas are optional and therefor not included in nutrition estimate.
  4. ****FRUIT LAYER: If are interested in doing a layer of fruit in the jar you can puree about 1 1/4 cups chopped fresh fruit in a small food processor with a little maple syrup to taste. Spoon into the jar then freeze for about 1 hour if you’d like it more firm, or just spoon over the top of the pudding.
  5. CHOCOLATE VARIATION: When preparing use 2.5 Tbsp maple syrup instead, add 2 Tbsp Dutch cocoa powder and 1 tsp vanilla in place of coconut extract.
