One of my favorite chia puddings! This recipe is not only delicious but also visually stunning. The layers of chia pudding, fresh banana slices, homemade coconut, yogurt, and granola make it a perfect breakfast or snack. The addition of lime zest and a drizzle of maple syrup takes it to the next level.
