Ingredients
To Make The Chia Chia Pudding
- Juice of 2 lemons About 6 tablespoons
- 1 (13.5 FL ounces/398 ml) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 5 tablespoons powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 5 tablespoons chia seeds 55 grams
Optional For Serving
- Extra lemon slices
- coconut flakes
- chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Blend lemon juice, coconut milk, sweetener, and lemon zest in a blender until smooth.
- Stir the chia seeds in the coconut milk mixture until well combined. Let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Give it another stir to break up any clumps of chia seed that might have developed—especially at the bottom.
- Transfer to a mason jar(s) with a lid or airtight container and store it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until it has a nice, thick, pudding-like consistency. Some like the texture better after resting it for 2 hours in the fridge.
- You can also let it sit overnight in the refrigerator (best for meal prepping).
- When ready to consume, give it a good stir and take out what you need. Serve with extra fresh lemon slices and coconut flakes (optional).

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover lemon chia pudding in an airtight container or divide it into single-serve containers for up to 5 days.
- Consume in moderation: Chia seed puddings are very filling and high in fiber. I count about ½ cup per person for daily consumption.
