Revolutionary Coconut Chia Pudding (Vegan)
We need to talk about chia pudding for a second. Even though it may be a wildly easy, healthy grab and go breakfast, I never cared for it much. Almond milk and chia seeds? Ehh...no thanks. A bit bland, a bit mushy, and just not the best to me.BUT! Hear me out about THIS chia pudding. This one is different. I hardly even think of it as chia pudding - it's more like a thick, delicious, coconut-y breakfast concoction. Almost like a seedy, cinnamon-y yogurt. Okay I am getting off track and claiming it's like 200 different things now, but you hopefully get the picture. Or you will when you try this!

I love using plain coconut yogurt here for amazing flavour and sweetness. I find the few coconut yogurts available here in Toronto to be quite thin, but I really enjoy super thick, creamy yogurt. Adding chia + flax seeds was been my solution to this issue as of late, and it turns the mixture into a thick hybrid between yogurt + chia pudding. I also threw in a few other ingredients to make it extra special and flavourful.This delicious mixture is PERFECT to prep ahead of time for weekday breakfasts - the following recipe makes one serving, but feel free to double, triple etc as desired! This thick, creamy + flavourful yogurt/chia pudding hybrid will be your new favourite make-ahead breakfast - no more bland breakfasts necessary. Enjoy :)
