Lemon Chia Pudding (Dairy, Gluten and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
My husband's flavor is lemon so whenever I can I try to make something with this flavor.  Chia pudding is also a family favorite.  I hope you like this pudding as much as we do.
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 + 1 tablespoon cup chia seeds
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1-2 drops lemon oil (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon or more turmeric for color (optional)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • shredded coconut for topping (optional)

 Directions
  1. Make the chia pudding by adding all ingredients into a bowl except shredded coconut.  Let sit for set in the fridge for about 1 hour or overnight.  If possible stir once in between so the chia seeds don't stick together.
  2. Dish into bowls and sprinkle with coconut if desired.
