In a medium-sized bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then give it another stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best consistency.
Before serving, stir the pudding once more and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup.
Divide the chia pudding into two serving bowls.
Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut, 1/4 cup of fresh fruit, and 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
