Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruits (mango, kiwi, berries) for layering
- Granola for topping
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the mixture well to avoid clumping and then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Stir the mixture again and let it sit for another 30 minutes to thicken, or refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Once the chia pudding has set, spoon it into glasses or bowls, layering with fresh fruits of your choice and topping with granola.
- Garnish with mint leaves and a sprinkle of lime zest before serving.
Notes
Storage: Keep the chia pudding covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just layer with fresh fruits and granola right before serving.
For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk. If you prefer a lighter version, light coconut milk works well, too. Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup as desired.
This parfait can be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight, making it a perfect grab-and-go breakfast option. You can also switch up the fruit layers according to the season—try berries in summer or citrus fruits in winter!
