My daughter and I have been going nuts making chia seed puddings. She is eight and we have been making them together in the evening in for her lunch box and after dinner treats. I love them because they are really healthy and full of nutrients compared to what other lunch box snacks are on offer.
I set the puddings in small containers so that they are easy to pop in her lunch box.
If you would prefer to make a lighter version, instead of coconut cream you can use any type of milk such as regular, almond, soy or coconut. This pudding is richer because it is made with coconut cream.
This pudding is absolutely decadent and will only take you seven minutes to throw together.
