Coconut and Almond Chia Pudding

More chia seeds! I can’t get enough of them. They’re so filling and full of fiber (which is a major essential for weight loss). This recipe uses almond essence, chopped almonds, and coconut milk. It’s a great recipe to choose when you feel like something a bit sweet and creamy.

Serves: 4 puddings

Container: 4 jars or small bowls with cling film to cover, or 4 containers with lids

Time: approximately 10 minutes (plus chilling overnight)

Ingredients:

• 6 tbsp. chia seeds
• 1 cup wholegrain rolled oats
• 4 tbsp. desiccated coconut
• ½ tsp. almond essence
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• 4 cups (32fl oz.) unsweetened coconut milk
• 32 raw almonds, roughly chopped

Method:

1. Place the chia seeds, oats, desiccated coconut, almond essence, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and raw almonds into a bowl and stir to combine.
2. Divide between your 4 jars or containers, cover, and place in the fridge overnight.
3. The chia seeds will expand and become gelatinous as they absorb moisture, so give the pudding a good stir before eating.
