Ingredients
-
3 cups coconut milk or coconut water (or a 50/50 blend for a lighter texture)
-
3 tablespoons chia seeds
-
1/2 cup white dragon fruit flesh (pureed or finely mashed)
-
2 tablespoons honey, agave syrup, or sweetener of choice (optional)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
-
Hydrate the Chia Seeds: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds with the coconut milk. Stir well and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the seeds from clumping together as they begin to gel.
-
Incorporate the Dragon Fruit: Whisk or blend in the mashed white dragon fruit until the mixture takes on an even distribution of the fruit pulp and tiny black seeds.
-
Sweeten: Stir in your choice of sweetener and vanilla extract if you prefer a sweeter, dessert-like flavor profile.
-
Chill: Transfer the mixture into airtight glass jars or bottles. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours to chill thoroughly and allow the chia seeds to fully expand.
-
Serve: Give the bottles a gentle shake or stir before pouring into tall glasses over ice. Enjoy chilled!
