Acai Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

INGREDIENTS
2 frozen Mix Tambor Acai packs
1 can Organic coconut milk
1 banana [ not frozen ok ]
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup

*Suggested Toppings
toasted coconut shreds
strawberries
blueberries
sliced banana
almond slices
cacao nibs
honey
maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS
In your blender, puree the packs of acai with the coconut milk and banana. Transfer the blend to a bowl and spoon mix in the chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least a few hours until the chia seeds are plump and gel-like. Stir the mixture well to make sure there are no clumps and all the chia seeds are coated. We like to mix it up again after it’s been refrigerated for a couple hours just to be sure.

Once set, spoon into your serving bowls or jars. Layer on your sliced fruits and toppings, or enjoy simply by itself. Enjoy!
