Chia Seed Pudding Recipe
This is a recipe for an easy to make chia seed and coconut milk pudding. When soaked overnight, the outer coating of the chia seed absorbs water and swells, giving this pudding a tapioca-like consistency, with a little crunch. It's a delicious and fun way to get a sweet treat with all the health benefits of chia and coconut oil.

Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 cups coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup
In addition, you can choose one of these optional flavorings:
1 tsp matcha
1 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp maple syrup
In addition, you can choose one of these optional flavorings:
1 tsp matcha
1 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
Put the chia seeds in a bowl. Add your cocoa or matcha and whisk till all the clumps are broken up. Warm your coconut milk in a pan over low heat till it's a uniform consistency, then pour this over your chia seed mixture. If you are using vanilla or mango or any other wet ingredient to add flavor, mix that in now. Add your maple syrup and whisk for 2-3 minutes, till it's smooth. Let stand for 4-10 hours (I like to make this overnight), then stir and voila! A delicious and healthy treat.
