Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- While the chia pudding is setting, wash and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Set aside a few strawberries for garnishing if you like.
- 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.
- Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars.
- Top with a few extra strawberry pieces for garnish if desired.
- Serve the Strawberry Coconut Chia Pudding chilled and enjoy a delicious, healthy treat!
