A Tropical Morning Escape
Imagine waking up on a tropical island, the gentle ocean breeze carrying the scent of coconut and fresh fruit. That's the feeling I wanted to capture in this chia pudding.
Chia pudding became my go-to breakfast during my travels through Southeast Asia, where I discovered how the tiny seeds transform overnight into a creamy, satisfying base for endless topping combinations.
This tropical version combines rich coconut milk with the freshness of seasonal fruits – a healthy, make-ahead breakfast that feels like a vacation in a jar.
