Indulge in the creamy, nutrient-rich delight of Chia Seed Pudding with Coconut Milk. This easy-to-make dessert or breakfast option combines the natural sweetness of coconut milk with the powerful health benefits of chia seeds, creating a dish that’s both satisfying and energizing.

Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, ½ cup of coconut milk (unsweetened), and 1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup or honey. Stir well to avoid clumping.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, stir the pudding again and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Top with fresh berries, sliced banana, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavour.
