Another great one to make the night before, adding ease and precious time to your morning routine. One of nature’s best sources of omega 3’s, chia is packed with nutrients, and tons of fiber, but very few calories, making it ideal for breakfast. Coconut milk adds a rich, satisfying quality and also brings subtle sweetness.
Chia takes at least 4 hours to fluff up to their fullest but overnight is even better. If you think of it, you may want to shake
the jar in those first few hours to make sure the chia isn’t clumping together. Garnish options are plenty: fruit, nuts,
granola, cacao nibs, hempseed, shredded coconut, figs, dates.

Variations
Substitute other berries for the strawberries such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. You can also try
mango, or lychee.
For a divine creamy chocolate pudding, add 20 to 30 g of cocoa powder to the Vanilla version and whisk well before chilling. You can also blend the chilled pudding for a smooth consistency. You may like to add a couple of
medjool dates while you’re at it to balance the bitter with some sweet.
Enhance your daily intake of omegas by mixing in 1 or 2 spoonfuls of hempseeds before chilling.
