Ingredients
  

1 cup watermelon puree (fresh watermelon blended until smooth)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Watermelon cubes for topping

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the watermelon puree, coconut milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until all ingredients are well blended.

    Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

      Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.

        Once set, give the mixture a good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds.

          To serve, layer the watermelon chia pudding into jars. Start with a layer of pudding, followed by a layer of watermelon cubes, and repeat until the jars are filled.

            Garnish with fresh mint leaves on top for an added touch of flavor and color.

              Enjoy your refreshing watermelon chia pudding right away, or keep it stored in the refrigerator for breakfast throughout the week!
