I've always loved chia pudding, and on the Whole30, it's a really easy way to prepare breakfast (plus, you can do it ahead of time, so major props for that). I've been trying out a few different variations, but this version with coconut and blackberry was definitely a favorite!
A few things about Chia - you have to appreciate a little bit of crunch and an interesting texture. If you can eat oatmeal, I don't think chia is that much of a stretch. If you haven't had it before, I recommend making one serving and trying it out before you make a large batch.
Another note about chia - I've eaten it both hot and cold and love both versions. There's no real right or wrong when it comes to eating it. It should stay good in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
