  2. Mix Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a glass bowl or jar. Whisk in the chia seeds until fully incorporated. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure there are no clumps.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Add Banana and Serve: Once thickened, mash the second banana and gently stir it into the pudding. Serve in bowls, topping with slices of banana and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
