Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Let the mixture set for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
Once the chia seeds have absorbed some of the liquid, transfer the mixture into four containers (or jars) and seal tightly.
Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the chia seeds to expand and the pudding to thicken.
In the morning, top the chia pudding with your favorite fruits, dried coconut flakes, and sliced almonds for a delightful crunch. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut milk instead of regular milk and Greek yogurt.
You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or stevia.
Try different fruits like mango, blueberries, or raspberries, and experiment with toppings like granola or pumpkin seeds.
This chia pudding lasts for up to 3-4 days in the fridge, making it great for meal prep.
It is best served cold, but you can microwave it for 30-40 seconds if you prefer a warm version.
