This simple and nutritious chia pudding is a perfect high-protein breakfast or snack. Made with coconut milk and vanilla, it has a creamy texture and can be customized with toppings like berries, nuts, or cocoa powder for variety.
In a mixing bowl or jar, combine coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
Once set, stir the pudding to redistribute the chia seeds and top with fresh berries before serving.
Notes
For a chocolate version, mix in a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder before refrigerating.
Add chopped nuts for extra crunch and protein.
Use different fruits like mango, banana, or pomegranate for a flavor twist.
