CHIA COCONUT PUDDING WITH COCONUT MILK

Chia Coconut Pudding with Coconut Milk image

Chia seeds make great desserts and are high in omega-3s. This recipe is a healthy alternative to processed desserts. It uses agave (or stevia if you prefer) as a sweetener instead of sugar. Stir again before serving and top with fresh fruit and another dash of cinnamon or spices.
