Recipe Description
Coconut Almond Chia Seed Pudding — delicious, satisfying and full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, antioxidants and fiber –- perfect for an easy, healthy breakfast or snack anytime of day.
The basic ingredients are coconut milk, the kind you find in a carton in the dairy section, and chia seeds. I find that you don’t get much coconut flavor from coconut milk alone, so I added some coconut flakes. I love the combination of coconut and almond, so I also added a little bit of almond extract.
This pudding is so easy to make, you just whisk the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Then you pour the pudding into a mason jar, or two, and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight. When the pudding is ready, you can either transfer it to small bowls, or eat it straight from the jar(s).
I like to sprinkle some additional coconut flakes on top, along with some sliced almonds for a little bit of crunch. Some fresh mint leaves provide a nice brightness and color.
This Coconut Almond Chia Seed Pudding is a wonderful healthy, easy breakfast or snack anytime time of day, enjoy at home or on the go.
