Lime in the Coconut Chia Seed Pudding
You put the lime in the coconut and mix it all up. Literally! Here’s another healthy, bright, and citrusy chia seed pudding idea for breakfast or dessert. I wrote the recipe with light coconut milk, but you could use full fat coconut milk if you like. You’ll get a stronger coconut flavor and thicker pudding.
Make it your own
Lime and coconut is a classic tropical combination, so I like to add diced tropical fresh fruit and chopped nuts on top for some crunch. I’ve included a few topping suggestions below, but feel free to make it your own. Dream up your own combination or stir additional flavors…like a dash of vanilla or even a teaspoon or two of rum...I won’t tell!
