  • 1/2 cup coconut cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a mixing bowl, combine milk, coconut cream (or yogurt), sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  • 2. Gradually add chia seeds while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
  • 3. Let the mixture rest for 5–10 minutes, then stir again thoroughly.
  • 4. Transfer to jars or containers and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours or overnight.
  • 5. Check consistency and adjust with a splash of milk if too thick or more chia seeds if too thin.
  • 6. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon flavor if needed.
  • 7. Serve chilled with toppings like berries, nuts, or granola.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
Stir the mixture twice before chilling to avoid clumps.
Adjust sweetness after chilling for perfect balance.
