Ok so it’s been a while since I’ve had a cocktail…..like quite a while! Fertility prep, plus 9 months preggie time and now nursing. I’ve never been a big drinker but I have to say, every now and then I kind of feel like a drink 🙂 The irony of the name of this blog post is that a chia colada isn’t even a drink, let along an alcoholic drink!

Of course in true Simone style, it’s a healthy little morsel of omega goodness in a glass (a chia pudding really) that reminds me of pina colada. I clearly need a holiday somewhere exotic with a cocktail on the beach.

INGREDIENTS:

• 11/2 cups of large cup of chopped pineapple (half for the recipe half for the topping)
• 1/4 cup of chia seeds
• 1/2 cup of almond milk
• 1 cup of light coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons of coconut nectar (optional)
• Toasted Coconut Flakes (optional)

PROCEDURE:

1. Roughly blend 1 cup of the pineapple with a whizz stick (keep the remaining pineapple for the top).
2. Combine chia seeds, milk and coconut nectar in a jar.
3. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
4. Once the pudding is set, top with chopped pineapple and toasted coconut flakes.
