I love the simplicity of these puddings, which can easily double up as an effortless breakfast on-the-run. Some recipes call for the chia to be soaked for several hours, but I prefer overnight soaking.
The first recipe is a coconut chia mix with extra crunch and texture from desiccated coconut stirred through and coconut shavings to garnish. The second is a chocolate pudding with the simple addition of cocoa powder. I also blended this one before serving for an amazing pudding texture!
If you are making chia pudding for the kids, use honey instead of sweetener to give them a nutritional boost. Enjoy!
