Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 medium ripe banana mashed
  • 1 cup coconut milk from the can
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, mashed banana and cocoa powder together. Mix well.
  • Pour in the coconut milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and all the chia seeds are covered in the milk.
  • Place the bowl in the fridge and allow the pudding to set for a minimum of 1 hour. You can leave it in the fridge overnight if you are meal prepping for breakfast.
  • Once it is set, serve it with sliced banana, shredded coconut, grated chocolate or chocolate chips and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chia seeds
    • Feel free to use black or white chia seeds.
  • Banana
    • For a sweeter taste, make sure you choose a ripe banana.
    • Alternatively, you can use a frozen banana, microwave it for 1 minute, drain the excess liquid and mash it up.
  • Coconut milk
    • I recommend using lite coconut milk from the can as it offers more flavour and a smoother consistency.
    • If you prefer to use coconut milk from a carton or a different type of milk (ie. soy, almond, dairy), you can do this too.
  • Cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt
    • These can all be adjusted depending on your preference! 
 
Blending:
If you’re not a big fan of the seedy texture, blending it is always an option. Before you let the mixture set, toss it in the blender and blitz it up for about 10 seconds, or until mostly smooth. Let it set for a minimum of 1 hour (ideally overnight). Serve as recommended.
