Vanilla chia seed pudding

This desert is one of my favorites.  It's fast and yummy. Chia seeds have a similar feel to tapioca pudding. If you don't like Tapioca pudding then just blend your pudding up at the end and it will have a smooth taste. ( I haven't tried this myself but a lot of people in the comments said it works )The original recipe is found Here

 

vanilla chia seed pudding

makes 2 servings
 

• 1 1/4 cups lite coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chia seeds

Mix together coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.  Stir in chia seeds.  Pour into serving dishes.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.  Serve with fresh fruit (optional).

Notes:  The first time I made this I used coconut milk from the can.  It was thick and delicious.  The seeds didn't plump up as much as in the original picture though.
 Last night I tried it with the So Delicious brand in a box and the seed plumped up huge but the overall pudding was a little bit runnier.  You will have to experiment and decided what you like better.
