Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Fresh fruits of your choice (such as mango, kiwi, berries, and banana)

Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)

Mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.

    Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

      Prepare Fruits: While the chia pudding is setting, chop your chosen fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces. For instance, peel and dice the mango, slice the kiwi, halve the strawberries, and slice the banana.

        Assemble: After the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir. Spoon the pudding into individual serving bowls or glasses, filling them halfway.

          Layer with Fruit: Add a layer of your chopped fresh fruits over the top of the chia pudding in each bowl. Feel free to mix and match different types of fruits for a colorful presentation.

            Top Off: Finish with another layer of chia pudding on top of the fruits to create beautiful layers.

              Garnish: Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for an added crunch and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

                Serve: Enjoy your Tropical Chia Oasis immediately for a refreshing and nutritious dessert or breakfast!
