Maple syrup or another liquid sweetener will help if you want extra sweetness. It’s not required, but it can make the pudding sweeter and more delicious.

Lastly, have a mixing bowl and spoon handy. You could also use a blender if you like smoother pudding. That’s all you need to make this simple and yummy treat!

Serving Suggestions

• You can enjoy your chia seed pudding in different ways. Try having it plain or adding some fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries on top. These fruits can add a burst of color and a fresh taste.
• For a bit of crunch, sprinkle some nuts like almonds or walnuts. You can also use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nice texture.
• If you want it sweeter, a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon can do the trick. These add flavor without overdoing the sugar.
• Think about stirring in some almond or peanut butter. It will make your pudding creamy and nutty, adding to the richness.

Storage Tips

• When you’ve made your delicious vegan banana coconut milk chia seed pudding, storing it properly is key.
• Put the pudding in a tight container, like a mason jar or a plastic container with a lid. This keeps air out, so it stays fresh longer. Make sure the container is clean and dry before adding your pudding.
• Keep it in the fridge. The cold keeps it fresh and tasty. Chia seed pudding usually lasts in the fridge for up to five days.
• If you need to mix it up, just stir it before eating. This helps with any separation that might have happened while it was chilling.
• To save even more time, you can divide the pudding into single servings. This way, you can grab and go on busy mornings. Just grab a portion, and you’re ready!
• For something extra, throw in some fresh fruit or nuts right before eating. This makes your pudding taste great each time.
• Always check for any strange smells or looks. If it seems off, it’s better to be safe and make a new batch. Enjoy your pudding!
