Coconut Almond Chia Seed Pudding

The Wild GemsLeave a comment

Talk about creamy, light, and refreshing! Especially when you add fresh fruit!

I love this flavor because it’s not overly sweet but it’s satisfying enough when you want to indulge in something sweet.

Especially if you’re trying to limit your intake on the super sugary stuff.

The coconut milk is what provides that creamy texture while the almond extract supplies the flavor.

Hope you enjoy it!

Servings: 4-6

What you need:

  • 2 cups Coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup Chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Almond extract

(Side note: a can of coconut milk is only 1 and 1/3 cup so if don’t feel like opening a new can of coconut milk just add regular milk. As long as it equals 2 cups)

Steps:

  1. Mix all ingredients into a bowl
  1. Store chia mix into an airtight container and allow the pudding to sit overnight
