Coconut Chia Protein Pudding – creamy, nourishing, and packed with goodness!

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
¼ cup chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
¼ cup toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (for topping)

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and protein powder if using.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, stir the pudding well and transfer to serving bowls.
Top with toasted coconut flakes and extra chia seeds for texture and presentation.

Decoration Tips:

Use a glass cup or jar to showcase the layers of the pudding for an elegant look.
Drizzle a bit of coconut cream on top for a rich and creamy finish.
Sprinkle some crushed nuts like almonds or pecans for added crunch.
Serve with fresh fruit such as mango, berries, or banana slices for a tropical twist.
