Chia Pudding Two Ways
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!
