How to Prepare Key Lime Pudding [Vegan]

Put coconut milk, yogurt, vanilla, lime juice, baby spinach (if using), sweetener, and salt into a blender container and blend well.
Add the chia seeds and pulse-blend just to combine. Whisk in lime zest.
Pour into a bowl or single serving mason jars and whisk or cover and shake. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then whisk or cover and shake again. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, stir and add additional sweetener, zest, and/or milk as needed for desired taste and consistency. Serve cold with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Note: If the yogurt is thin, only 1/2 to 1 cup of coconut milk will be needed. For extra-thick yogurt, add the full can. After a few hours, you can adjust the consistency if needed by adding some additional milk or chia seeds.
