Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh watermelon, diced

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Additional diced watermelon for layering or topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Puree: In a blender, add the diced watermelon and blend until smooth. You may strain it through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother consistency, but this is optional.

    Mix the Chia Pudding Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk or stir gently to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

      Combine Watermelon and Chia Mixtures: Add the watermelon puree to the chia mixture and fold gently until fully combined. This will create a beautiful pink mixture.

        Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

          Assemble the Breakfast Jar: Once the pudding has thickened, layer the chia pudding and additional diced watermelon in a jar, starting with chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of diced watermelon, and repeating until the jar is filled.

            Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh mint leaves for garnish. You can enjoy your refreshing watermelon chia pudding immediately or store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
