Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk (13.5 oz), shaken
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, sliced
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup (for sauce)
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl or large jar, whisk together 1/3 cup chia seeds, 2 cans shaken full-fat coconut milk (13.5 oz), 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. 2

    Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick and pudding-like.

  3. 3

    Make the strawberry sauce: combine 2 cups hulled, sliced fresh strawberries with 2 tsp pure maple syrup (for sauce) and 2 tsp fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Mash gently with a fork, leaving some chunks, and let macerate for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir the chilled chia pudding until smooth and divide among 4 glasses or bowls. Spoon the strawberry sauce over the top.

  5. 5

    Garnish with 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes and serve immediately, or keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
