Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons  chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups  coconut milk (canned full-fat or carton coconut milk)
  • 1–2 tablespoons  maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • Fresh berries

Method
 

  1. Pour 1 ½ cups of your chosen coconut milk into a bowl or large jar.
  2. To the coconut milk, add maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt.
  3. If you prefer just a hint of sweetness, start with 1 tablespoon. If you want it more dessert-like, use closer to 2 tablespoons.
  4. Stir or whisk until the sweetener and vanilla are fully blended into the coconut milk.
  5. Now sprinkle the chia seeds into the coconut milk mixture. Stir very well for about 30–60 seconds, making sure no clumps of chia seeds stick together or sit dry on top. 
  6. Let the mixture sit for 3–5 minutes, then give it another good stir.
  7. Once the chia seeds are evenly distributed, cover the bowl or jar with a lid or wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, but overnight is ideal.

Notes

Have fun with toppings. Some ideas:
  • A handful of fresh berries for brightness and color
  • Sliced banana or mango for a tropical touch
  • A sprinkle of nuts for crunch
  • Coconut flakes to double down on the coconut theme
  • A drizzle of nut butter for extra richness and protein
