Ingredients
  

For the Chia Pudding
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup coconut milk or almond milk, or any plant-based milk of choice
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional, for sweetness
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
For the Mango Puree

  • 1 tbsp lime juice optional, for brightness
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, if the mango isn’t sweet enough
Toppings
  • Fresh mango chunks
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Chopped nuts like almonds, pistachios, or cashews
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 tbsp coconut yogurt stirred into the chia pudding for extra creaminess
  • A handful of berries mixed into the mango puree for extra color and flavor
Substitutions
  • Vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe vegan.
  • Dairy-Free: This recipe is naturally dairy-free but be sure to use plant-based milk.

Method
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding
  1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like texture.
Make the Mango Puree
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, lime juice (if using), and honey or maple syrup (if needed).
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  4. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Assemble the Pudding
  1. Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a stir.
  2. Spoon the pudding into serving glasses or bowls, filling them about 2/3 of the way.
  3. Top each serving with a layer of the mango puree.
  4. Add your favorite toppings, such as fresh mango chunks, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
Serve
  1. Enjoy your Chia Seed Pudding with Mango Puree immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days for a quick grab-and-go snack or breakfast.

Notes/Advice:

  • Additions/Subtractions:
    • Adjust the sweetness of both the chia pudding and the mango puree to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
    • If your chia pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen it up before serving.
    • For added creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk or mix in a spoonful of coconut yogurt.
