Ingredients
- 1 cup of plain coconut milk yogurt or plain almond milk yogurt
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla coconut milk (carton type, not canned) or unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 peach, fresh
- 5 medium strawberries
- Granola (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a container with a lid, combine the yogurt, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly to avoid clumps. Initially, the mixture will appear quite thin.
- Chill to Set: Secure the lid and place the container in the refrigerator to set overnight. For optimal consistency, give it another stir before you head to bed to prevent any clumps from forming.
- Prepare the Fruits: In the morning, give the pudding one final stir. Chop the peach and strawberries into bite-sized cubes.
- Assemble and Serve: In your serving glasses, start with a layer of chopped strawberries. Spoon the chia pudding over the strawberries and top with peach cubes. If desired, sprinkle some granola on top for added crunch.
