Step by Step Instructions 📝

1. Mix the Chia Pudding: In a medium bowl, add the chia seeds and almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to ensure all seeds are coated with the liquid. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.

2. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and reached a pudding-like consistency.

3. Prepare the Toppings: Just before serving, slice the strawberries and gather your granola, peanut butter, and coconut flakes. These add delicious flavor and texture to your pudding.

4. Assemble: Divide the chilled chia pudding between two bowls. Drizzle a spoonful of peanut butter on each, then top with a generous sprinkle of granola, strawberry slices, and a sprinkle of coconut flakes.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest flavors and crunch! This makes a perfect, nourishing breakfast or snack.
