Whisk can of coconut milk in a bowl with chia seeds, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Thoroughly combine all ingredients. Place bowl in the fridge for at least 3 hours. It is best to prep this in the evening and have it sit overnight to be ready for breakfast. Once it is ready it should be thicker and a pudding like consistency. If it is too thick, simply add a splash of milk and stir together. Top with fresh fruit, nuts or granola.
