Everyday Cooking Recipe ⇉ Chia Coconut Pudding with Coconut Milk

Chia seeds make great desserts and are high in omega-3s. This recipe is a healthy alternative to processed desserts. It uses agave (or stevia if you prefer) as a sweetener instead of sugar. Stir again before serving and top with fresh fruit and another dash of cinnamon or spices.

Ingredients

• ½ cup chia seeds
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 6 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar, or more to taste
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ cup diced fresh strawberries

Cooking Directions

1. Place chia seeds in a bowl.
2. Whisk coconut milk, unsweetened coconut milk, agave nectar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; pour over chia seeds and stir well. Allow coconut milk-chia seed mixture to soak until thickened, at least 20 minutes, or cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
3. Stir pudding and top with strawberries.
