Ingredients
  

1 cup watermelon, cubed

1/2 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Additional watermelon or fruit (e.g., berries) for layering (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Base: In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon with half of the coconut milk (1/4 cup). Blend until smooth.

    Mix Chia Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining coconut milk, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

      Combine: After ensuring the chia mixture is mixed, fold in about 1/4 cup of the watermelon puree to give it a delicious flavor and color.

        Layer the Jar: In a clean jar or container, start with a layer of the watermelon chia mixture at the bottom. Follow with a layer of the watermelon puree, then add more chia mixture, and repeat until the jar is filled. Leave some space at the top for garnishing.

          Chill: Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to expand and the flavors to meld.

            Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Top with fresh mint leaves and any additional fruits, like diced watermelon or berries, if using.
