Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh watermelon, cubed

1½ cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

½ cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Extra watermelon slices (for layering)

Granola or nuts (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Puree: In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp if desired. You should have about 1 cup of watermelon juice.

    Mix Chia Pudding Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, watermelon juice, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to expand and thicken.

        Layer the Jar: Once the chia pudding has set, start layering in a jar. Begin with a layer of the watermelon chia pudding, then add a layer of fresh watermelon slices. Repeat to create another layer of pudding and top with more watermelon.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of granola or nuts for crunch and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy this refreshing breakfast jar chilled!
