Creamy chia seeds soak up zesty lemon and rich coconut for a fresh, fiber-rich, tropical breakfast or snack option.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Chia Base

01 - 80 g chia seeds

→ Liquid and Sweeteners

02 - 240 ml full-fat coconut milk
03 - 15 ml maple syrup or honey

→ Citrus Flavoring

04 - 15 ml fresh lemon juice
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

→ Aromatics (Optional)

06 - 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Garnish (Optional)

07 - Shredded coconut

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
02 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
03 - After chilling, stir thoroughly to break up any clumps. If the pudding is too thick, gradually add a splash of coconut milk to achieve desired consistency.
04 - Portion pudding into jars or bowls. Garnish optionally with shredded coconut, additional lemon zest, or fresh berries as desired.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Use full-fat coconut milk to achieve a rich, creamy texture. Freshly grate lemon zest just before use for optimal flavor and aroma.
