Melissa shared this recipe
Chia Coconut Milk Pudding:
Ingredients – basic recipe
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2-3 Tbsp Chia seeds (2 Tbsps yields a slightly runny pudding, 3 Tbsp more firm/ held together pudding).
Add in Ingredient Options/ Ideas (Choose 1 or more):
4-5 fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped. 2 Tbsp halved or crushed Blueberries. 1/4 cup fresh or frozen mango, chopped.
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine coconut milk and chia seeds. Gently whisk or stir with a fork continuously for 3-5 minutes until mixture starts firming up and chia seeds suspend in mixture.
Mix in add ins of choice.
Refrigerate a minimum of 30 minutes before serving. I prefer 1-4 hours or overnight.
Store in refrigerator. Enjoy within 5 days.
Thanks Melissa!
