Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave nectar, to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: shredded coconut, extra pineapple, nuts, seeds

Instructions:

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, pineapple, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Before serving, stir the chia pudding well. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Top with your favorite toppings like shredded coconut, extra pineapple chunks, nuts, or seeds.
  6. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

  • For a smoother pudding, blend the chia pudding after it has set.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming spice.
  • Use other fruits like mango, berries, or peaches.
  • Sweeten with dates instead of maple syrup.
  • For a richer flavor, use toasted coconut flakes as a topping.
