Strawberry and Coconut Chia Pudding

This is my first experience with chia seeds.
Can you believe that this will turn into pudding?

1/2 cup chia seeds (no need to rinse)
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp coconut or almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded coconut
5 or 6 well chopped strawberries plus extra to garnish

Whisk together the milk, honey, extracts, coconut and strawberries. And then the chia seeds.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, to help prevent a skin forming, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
After 2 hours stir the pudding. If a skin has formed just break it up and stir together. Pour pudding into serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap again and refrigerate for 2 more hours.
And presto it's pudding!
I admit it, I shamelessly used my love for the Mighty Montreal Canadiens to draw your attention to this recipe : )
They pack a powerful punch just like chia seeds!
(Thanks for the apron ladies...you know who you are)
