Chia seeds are an excellent source of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.   Coconut cream is rich in medium chain fatty acids and is thick at room temperature.  Monk fruit does not spike your blood glucose levels.  Berries are full of nutrients and antioxidants.

This pudding has a similar texture to tapioca pudding.  If the texture is not for you then try blending the pudding in a high powered blender before refrigerating.  The pudding will come out smooth and creamy!
