Coconut Chia Pudding

Ingredients:

• 1 can (13.5 oz) light coconut milk
• 5 tablespoons chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: In a bowl or glass container, stir together the coconut milk, chia seeds, shredded coconut, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Set and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
3. Refrigerate: Place the mixture in the fridge and let it set for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for a thicker consistency.
4. Serve: Once the pudding has thickened, portion it out into bowls or jars. Top with additional shredded coconut, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.

Notes:

• Adjust sweetness: The amount of maple syrup can be adjusted to suit your taste. If you like it sweeter, add up to 2 tablespoons.
• Overnight prep: This pudding can be made the night before for a quick breakfast the next day! Just give it time to fully set in the fridge.
• Add toppings: Try adding fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of granola to add texture and flavor to your pudding.
• Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. The pudding thickens over time, so you may want to stir in a bit of extra coconut milk or water to loosen it up.
