Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for garnish

- ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
- Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar. Seal, then shake thoroughly to combine.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes, then shake once more.
- Return to the refrigerator and let sit for 15-30 minutes longer to allow the chia to thicken into a spoonable pudding.
- To serve, top with additional coconut, berries and dates.
