We have made chia pudding before but we are making it that much more luxurious in our new Coconut version. We are introducing more fats into our diet as we cut back on refined carbohydrates. This recipe is made with coconut milk and it deliciously rich and satiating…great when you are craving dessert! And great for those KETO dieters as chia is so high in fibre so keeps your carbs to where they need to be 😉
Creamy Coconut Chia Seed Pudding (make 4 servings):
2 cups coconut milk (not light, we used A-Roy D)
1 tsp pure powdered Stevia (more or less to appeal to your taste)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
(optional 1 tbsp shredded coconut per serving)
Non Blended Version:
1) Combine the coconut milk, Stevia, vanilla, cinnamon and chia seeds together in a bowl. Let sit then stir again after 5 mins. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or ideally overnight. When ready to serve, top with more cinnamon/stevia and shredded coconut (1 tbsp per portion)!
Smoother Blended Version:
*Once done, blend the mixture until creamy and smooth*
