Ingredients
  

For the Chia Pudding
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup honeydew melon, pureed roughly 1/4 medium melon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping (Optional)
  • 1/2 cup honeydew melon, diced small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut toasted, optional

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the honeydew puree: Cube the honeydew flesh and blend until completely smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of the puree.
  2. In a medium bowl or large container, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, honeydew puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk vigorously again to break up any clumps that have formed at the bottom.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture has thickened to a pudding consistency. Stir halfway through chilling if possible for the best texture.
  5. Taste the pudding before serving and adjust sweetness if necessary. If it is too thick, thin it with a splash more almond milk.
  6. Spoon the chia pudding into individual serving cups or bowls. Top with small diced honeydew melon and shredded coconut before enjoying.

Notes

For a brighter green color, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of spirulina powder to the wet ingredients. Ensure the chia seeds are fully suspended before the initial set, which prevents a grainy texture.
