Instructions

Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix everything evenly.
Prepare the Chia Pudding: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Add the Berry Compote or Preserves: Spoon the chilled chia pudding into a bowl and top with berry compote or preserves.
Add Granola and Fresh Fruit: Follow with a layer of granola and arrange the fresh fruit on top.

Notes

The nutrition facts are calculated using organic coconut milk in a carton.
If using coconut milk from a can, the fat content and calories will increase. These are "healthy fats" that give a creamy texture.

Homemade Granola Recipe: Mix oats, nuts, and seeds. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and a little coconut oil. Bake at 300°F (150°C) until golden, stirring occasionally.

Berry Compote Recipe: Simmer fresh berries with a touch of maple syrup. Cool before using. Complement this dish with almond butter toast, sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt, similar to how it's served at First Watch for a complete and satisfying meal.
