# What You’ll Need:

→ Chia Pudding

01 - 1 ⅔ cups coconut milk, full fat canned
02 - ⅓ cup chia seeds
03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and no clumps remain.
02 - Let mixture stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then stir vigorously to break up any forming clumps and redistribute seeds evenly.
03 - Cover bowl and refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight until pudding achieves thick, creamy consistency and seeds are fully hydrated.
04 - Combine passionfruit pulp, lime juice, and maple syrup in small bowl. Stir thoroughly and adjust sweetness to personal preference.
05 - Portion chia pudding evenly into four serving glasses or bowls. Generously spoon passionfruit purée over surface of each serving.
06 - Top with fresh coconut slices, additional passionfruit pulp, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately while chilled.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The texture is like eating dessert for breakfast but without any guilt
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes of active time
  • Make it Sunday and eat all week when mornings are chaotic
02 -
  • Stirring again after that 10 minute rest prevents those annoying chia seed clumps
  • The pudding needs those full 4 hours to reach the right texture
  • Passionfruit sweetness varies so taste your purée before adding more sweetener
03 -
  • Warm the coconut milk slightly before mixing if your chia seeds are not expanding well
  • Use a mason jar to shake everything together instead of whisking
  • Passionfruit pulp freezes perfectly so stock up when they are in season
