For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 200 grams coconut milk
• 30 grams chia seeds
• 30 grams mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, chopped if large)
• 20 grams ripe banana
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Procedure:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, mashed banana, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
• Whisk the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and there are no lumps.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
• After the pudding has set, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
• In serving bowls, layer the chia pudding with mixed berries, reserving some for topping. You can also swirl in some additional coconut milk for a creamy texture.
• Top with the remaining berries and serve chilled.
