In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and fully saturated.
Add the maple syrup, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can thin it out by adding a little more coconut milk.
Spoon the chia pudding into individual serving bowls or jars.
Top with fresh or frozen berries and an additional sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired.
Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated for up to 5 days for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack option.
