Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh watermelon, cubed

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Additional watermelon slices for topping

Instructions
 

In a blender, add the cubed watermelon and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture, but it’s optional.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to ensure there are no clumps of chia seeds.

      Stir in the pureed watermelon into the chia mixture until fully combined.

        Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a jar, then refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding-like consistency.

          Once set, give the mixture a good stir. In a serving jar or glass, layer the chia pudding with extra watermelon cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

            Serve chilled for a refreshing breakfast or snack!
