Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh watermelon, pureed

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh watermelon cubes for topping

Mint leaves for garnish

Optional toppings: granola, nuts, or seeds

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the pureed watermelon, coconut milk, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

    Gradually sprinkle the chia seeds into the mixture while continuously stirring to prevent clumping. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to mix everything properly.

      Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like texture.

        Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. In a mason jar or serving glass, layer the watermelon chia pudding with fresh watermelon cubes and any additional toppings you desire, like granola, nuts, or seeds.

          Finish with a sprig of fresh mint on top for a refreshing touch.

            Enjoy your refreshing watermelon chia pudding breakfast jar as a nutritious start to your day!
