Instructions:

1. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the coconut milk.
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the coconut milk and stir well until fully combined.
2. Add the Chia Seeds:
- Slowly sprinkle the chia seeds into the coconut milk mixture, while continuously stirring. This helps prevent clumping and ensures the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3. Mix and Chill:
- Once everything is well mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container.
- Place the chia mixture in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
4. Prepare the Strawberries:
- While the chia pudding is setting, wash and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Set aside a few strawberries for garnishing if you like.
5. Assemble the Pudding:
- After the chia pudding has set, remove it from the refrigerator and give it a good stir to ensure it has a consistent texture.
- Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the chia pudding.
6. Serve:
- Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars.
- Top with a few extra strawberry pieces for garnish if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the Strawberry Coconut Chia Pudding chilled and enjoy a delicious, healthy treat!
