- Stir the chia seeds in the coconut milk mixture until well combined. Let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes at room temperature.5 tablespoons chia seeds
- Stir again to break up any clumps of chia seed that might have developed—especially at the bottom.
- Transfer to a mason jar(s) with a lid or airtight container and store it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until it has a nice, thick, pudding-like consistency. Some like the texture better after resting it for 2 hours in the fridge.
- You can also let it sit overnight in the refrigerator (best for meal prepping).
- Before serving, give it a quick stir and take out what you need. Add fresh lemon slices, nuts and coconut flakes if you like.Extra lemon slices, Coconut flakes, Chopped walnuts
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover lemon chia pudding in an airtight container or divide it into single-serve containers for up to 5 days.
Consume in moderation: Chia seed puddings are very filling and high in fiber. I count about ½ cup per person for daily consumption.
