Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups fresh watermelon, cubed

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

½ cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional toppings: sliced kiwi, coconut flakes, or granola

Instructions
 

Blend the Watermelon: In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes and blend until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of watermelon puree.

    Combine Chia Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Add Watermelon Puree: Stir in the watermelon puree into the chia mixture until everything is evenly mixed.

        Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.

          Prepare for Serving: Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir and layer the pudding into serving jars if desired.

            Add Toppings: Top with your choice of fresh kiwi slices, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, granola, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing finish.

              Enjoy: Serve chilled as a refreshing breakfast or snack, and enjoy this healthy and vibrant treat!
