Mint-infused Coconut Chia Pudding with Grapefruit Supremes

Chia Puddings leave so much room for experimentation. There are so many different liquids that they can be soaked in, along, not to mention all the toppings there are to choose from. You could use regular milk, almond milk, soy, coconut, juices, fruit purees, etc. I really prefer coconut milk because I love the thick texture it gets when it’s chilled. Canned coconut milk is my favorite too, seeing as it’t quite a bit thicker than the kind that comes in a carton.

When it comes to toppings for a chia pudding, I am not so much into nuts and berries but have a serious preference for saucy citruses. THIS chia pudding is definitely at the top of my list for that specific reason. This recipe calls for grapefruit which are plentiful and affordable this time of year. Lightly sweetened and coated in their own, thickened juice, they make the perfect topping for a chia pudding. And can you really beat their sweet pink color?

As a fun twist on a traditional coconut milk chia pudding, I steeped my coconut milk with fresh mint leaves before stirring in the chia seeds. Mint and grapefruit go so well together and it gives the pudding such a cool, refreshing flavor.

This recipe makes one, very large bowl of pudding, but you could easily split it into 2-4 bowls. Whatever your preference might be. Just make sure to give yourself enough time to make it and let it set up in the fridge. I like to make them the night before I need them to be sure the pudding will be at just the right consistency.
