Ingredients
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup chia seeds
2–3 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Fresh fruit (for topping)
Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Nuts or granola (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
2. Stir in chia seeds and mix thoroughly to prevent clumping.
3. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to redistribute seeds.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
5. Before serving, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk.
6. Spoon into jars or bowls and top with fresh fruit, toasted coconut, or nuts.
Notes
You can prep this 3–4 days ahead for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
For a tropical twist, add diced mango or pineapple on top.
Light coconut milk can be used for a less rich texture.
