Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned for creaminess)

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred plant-based milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Toasted coconut flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until well blended.

    Add Chia Seeds: Slowly sprinkle the chia seeds over the liquid mixture while continuously whisking to avoid clumping. Whisk for about 1-2 minutes until the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

      Let it Sit: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquids and swell, creating a pudding-like texture.

        Prepare the Berries: While the chia pudding is setting, prepare the mixed berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them. Keep the blueberries and raspberries whole.

          Final Assembly: Once the chia pudding has set and thickened, remove it from the refrigerator. Stir it well before serving. In serving bowls or glasses, layer the chia pudding with the fresh berries, either mixed in or as a topping.

            Garnish and Serve: Top with toasted coconut flakes and fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation. Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing berry coconut chia pudding!
