Units
Scale
- 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- Optional toppings: chopped almonds, more shredded coconut, white chocolate shavings, or fresh berries
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl or jar, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut.
- Whisk well until fully combined, then let sit for 5 minutes and whisk again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
- Stir well before serving. Add toppings of choice such as chopped almonds, extra coconut, or berries.
- Serve chilled as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, use oat or rice milk instead of almond milk.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less syrup.
- For a thicker pudding, reduce the almond milk slightly or add more chia seeds.
- Lasts in the fridge for up to 5 days—perfect for meal prep.
