Are the chia seeds unsoaked? Is this ok? Will they absorb liquid inside me? Forgive me if this is a silly question!
Yes they’ll absorb the liquid. Good question BTW 😉
I have to try this. Avocado, coconut and mangoes are my 3 favorite foods. Can’t wait. Thanks Jon.

I have problems getting coconut yoghurt too. I love this website you’ve directed us to. Thank you, Den. 🙂
My pleasure Selkie 🙂
Hi there where on earth do you find coconut yoghurt, Ive never heard of it before? 🙂
Hi Em,
Some Grocers / Fruit and Vegetable stores will sell it. Any good health food store will definitely carry Coconut yoghurt. In fact you may even find it in supermarkets in the usual Yoghurt section, however just check the ingredients of the supermarket brands if you see any – there may be a lot of added sugar and flavour.
You can even make your own – here is a link to a website that gives instructions:

Hope this helps. Let us know how you go.
