I’m a bit late to the party when it comes to chia seeds. I can be a bit like that with many ‘superfoods’ or unusual foods. Not because I don’t like them but just because I try to stick to ‘normal’ foods because I find that easier for my clients and you to follow.
But I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this strawberry chia coconut pudding lately. It makes the perfect, guilt free dessert. So give it a try and let me know how you go.

- If the coconut cream is firm, you may need to heat it slightly to make it a liquid.
- For the best results, let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
