Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk chia seeds, 1 cup coconut water, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl until fully combined. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thickened to a pudding-like consistency (stirring once after 30 minutes to break up any lumps).
- Step 2: Serve chilled in bowls, topping each with 1 tbsp toasted coconut flakes. The pudding should have a gelatinous texture that holds its shape when gently stirred with a spoon.
