Coconut Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

  Ingredients

1  cup full-fat canned coconut milk
1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 to 3 Tablespoons agave nectar (optional)
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

Instructions

1. Combine the milks and agave in a jar and stir well with a spoon (or put the lid on and shake the jar.) Note: If your coconut milk is cold and separated, it will need to be stirred well to combine the water and flesh. 

2 Add the chia seeds and shake with the lid on (or stir)

3. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight


Notes
When I make this I don't use the  mango and the agave nectar and it's delicious. It's so simple to make and it takes 5 minutes   I love making this recipe.
