Coconut Chia Pudding
scant 1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1-2 Tablespoons coconut butter
1-2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups coconut or almond milk
Mix all together in a bowl, then refrigerate overnight until mixture is thickened and no longer liquidy.
I suppose this is basically another "Overnight Oatmeal" recipe, without the oats. It is definitely a breakfast pudding that is chock-full of healthy fats and protein. Quickly whip it up the night before, and enjoy a breakfast ready the next morning. It will seem very liquidy at first, but thickens quickly overnight, though the texture is still more liquidy than oatmeal - more like a pudding. I must admit I was not a huge fan of the mix of flavors and textures in this - I much prefer oats to chia seed, and the coconut flavor wasn't the right pairing for me, but I'm posting this as I am sure others will enjoy it. This recipe actually makes a huge portion - I'd say two very hearty servings or four smaller servings, maybe with a biscuit or something else.
