Topping ideas

Instructions

Combine coconut milk, maple syrup, chia seeds and optional zest in a mixing bowl and whisk together.
1 ⅔ cups (400 ml) coconut milk, 2 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ cup (85 g) chia seeds, 1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest
Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken slightly and then whisk again to break up any remaining lumps of chia seeds.
Puree the strawberries (with optional lemon or lime juice) in a blender or immersion blender.
1 cup (150 g) strawberries, 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
Scoop the pudding into 4 jars or smaller bowls and top with the strawberry puree.
Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Top with fresh berries, coconut, nut butter or other toppings of your choice!

Notes

Sweetness level: I recommend adjusting the amount of maple syrup you use to suit your tastes and the sweetness of your strawberries. If you want a not so sweet breakfast pudding, you could use just a few teaspoons. If you are making this as a dessert and have more of a sweet tooth, you can add up to 3 tablespoons.
