-
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
-
3 tbsp chia seeds
-
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh mango, pineapple, or berries

Instructions
Mix ingredients:
In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together coconut milk, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Let it sit:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Stir once after the first 10–15 minutes to prevent clumping.
Check texture:
Once the pudding is thick and the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid, it’s ready to eat. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash more milk.
Serve:
Scoop into bowls or jars and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy chilled!
