Coconut Milk Chia Pudding with Maple Syrup, Yogurt and Berries

Chia pudding is a great, filling, healthy breakfast. Spiced and sweetened up, it also makes a fantastic dessert. In this recipe, I have used maple syrup. But honey works well also depending on the flavor you prefer. You can puree a little fruit in your pudding with the coconut milk in a blender before adding the seeds

The pudding will need to sit preferably at least 4 hours to thicken up. Overnight is best.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Setting Time: 4 hours or overnight

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 15 oz can coconut milk (heavy or light) If for dessert, then heavy, if for breakfast perhaps light.

2-3 Tbs maple syrup (your preference, for breakfast maybe a little less, for dessert, maybe a little more)

½ tsp vanilla

5 strawberries for color and flavor

For topping:

Plain or vanilla yogurt

Fresh berries

I used flowers from impatiens which are edible

Directions:

Puree your fruit with the coconut milk, vanilla and maple syrup in a blender for color. Blueberries for blue or strawberries for pink. Stir in the chia seeds. Pour into a serving glass.
