Vegan Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding
The Vegan Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding is a creamy and nutritious plant-based treat. Chia seeds are soaked in coconut milk to create a thick and luscious pudding texture, while blueberries add a burst of flavor and antioxidants. This pudding is perfect for those looking for a satisfying breakfast, snack, or even a dessert.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Toppings: Fresh blueberries, shredded coconut, chopped nuts
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl, combine the chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Add the blueberries, maple syrup or agave syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir to incorporate the ingredients.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
After the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps and evenly distribute the blueberries.
Spoon the Vegan Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding into serving bowls or jars.
Top with fresh blueberries, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve:
- Serve the Vegan Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding cold, for a nourishing and satisfying breakfast or snack.
TIPS
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or agave syrup.
You can use other berries or fruit of your choice instead of blueberries.
