Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe watermelon, cubed

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, granola, or more watermelon cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Purée:

    - In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon and blend until smooth. If you prefer a bit of texture, blend only until you have small pieces left.

      Mix the Chia Pudding:

        - In a large bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of chia seeds.

          Combine Watermelon and Chia Mixtures:

            - Pour the watermelon purée into the chia mixture and stir gently to combine. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to ensure the chia seeds do not clump together.

              Chill:

                - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to jars with lids. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding.

                  Assemble the Breakfast Jar:

                    - Once set, layer the chia pudding and any optional toppings in serving jars. Start with a layer of chia pudding, add some mini watermelon cubes or shredded coconut, then another layer of pudding. Repeat until the jar is full.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        - Top each jar with fresh mint leaves and any additional toppings of your choice. Serve chilled for a refreshing start to your day!
