1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the reduced fat coconut milk (1 can), chia seeds (5 tbsp), maple syrup (1 tbsp), pure vanilla extract (0.5 tsp), and kosher salt (1 pinch) until the seeds are evenly combined and free of clumps.
2

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully hydrate and set into a pudding consistency.
3

Stir the mixture well in the morning to break up any remaining clumps, portion into serving jars, and garnish with fresh fruit (1 handful) and roasted nuts (1 tbsp) before serving.
