Chia pudding (so easy!)

Creamy chia pudding topped with fresh mango chunks and a sprig of mint in a glass jar, ready to enjoy.

This is my non-negotiable meal prep snack I make a few times a week 🙌🏽

So simple, takes less than 5 minutes, and a very flexible base recipe.

This can be $9 at Village Juicery with granola and jam…..even though is SO easy to make at home.

Makes about 3-4 servings.

Ingredients

• 1x400mL can of coconut milk (or about 2 cups of any other dairy or non dairy milk for more of a calcium boost to your day)

• 5 tablespoons chia seeds

• 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• dash of cinnamon (optional)

Method

Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate. Blend if you don’t like the texture before refrigerating. Should be ready in 4-6 hours but best after overnight.
