Chia seed pudding is not a great favorite dish for my son. He says it feels like gooey for him, so I added coconut slices while serving. The thinly sliced coconut pieces which add crunchiness to every bite.

Pro tips
- Due to the easy accessibility, I have used the canned coconut milk, however, you may use fresh or any form of coconut milk.
- Coconut slices are now available in all leading grocery stores. These are dry coconut slices, and they have a strong nutty flavor. They can also be available in the name of 'Coconut Chips'
- I happen to see, tender coconut slices in our Costco store, they work fine for this canned coconut milk chia pudding recipe.
- Here, I have added fresh coconut slices, and these are available in the frozen section in local Indian stores. These taste great and have a subtle nutty flavor.
- If you are not able to get any of the above ways, get a fresh coconut from your stores. Break open with a sharp-edged tool, use the knife to remove coconut pieces from the shell. Then slice them thinly. The leftover coconut can be frozen in a ziplock bag. It stays good for a couple of months in a freezer.
- A tip when you are planning to buy fresh coconut, choose white shelled coconut than the dark brown coconut shells. As white shelled coconuts are tender coconut and they are good for coconut water and for the flesh. Dark brown coconut shells are matured coconut and they have a strong nutty flavor.
- I have used a pinch of salt in this coconut chia pudding recipe, but you may use any other artificial or natural sugar or no sugar at all. All these versions taste great.
- If you do not wish to add coconut milk, you may also substitute with almond milk or soy milk.
