Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

Made with coconut milk, speckled with chia seeds, flavored with vanilla and sweetened with maple syrup, you’re going to devour this Creamy Chia Pudding. It’s a healthy make-ahead breakfast, snack or dessert like none other!

Sometimes I like to take a little break between dinner and dessert, but there are other nights where I crave something sweet immediately after finishing my meal. On those nights, I get super bummed if I can’t reach into my fridge and grab a cold cup of chia seed pudding. So I like to keep some on deck at all times!

Not only does chia pudding make a fabulous dessert, but it’s also healthy enough to serve for breakfast. No matter how much I snack on the stuff, I never seem to get tired of it! Whether I enjoy it with fresh fruit or a swirl of creamy nut butter, I tune out everything else until my cup is empty. Very few dishes can do that for a busy mom, and this pudding is definitely one of them.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups full fat coconut milk, just the cream at the top of can
• 6 tablespoons chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons of maple (or 4 tablespoons if you like it sweeter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
