Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using full-fat coconut milk for that creamy texture, but if you want something lighter, light coconut milk works too. You can swap the almond milk for oat milk or soy milk, whatever you have on hand. The chia seeds are super versatile, so if you don't have them, you can try flaxseeds, but the texture will be a bit different.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar – they stay fresh for days and are easy to grab when I need them.
- •If you want to add a little extra flair, try mixing in some cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of matcha powder for a green boost; it adds a lovely flavor and color.
- •You can also experiment with different sweeteners like agave or dates, depending on what you have.
