Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1¼ cup mango (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or your choice of plant milk)
  • ¼ cup chopped mango (for layering and topping)

Instructions
 

  • Add ingredients to your blender, mixer, or bowl
    Place 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk into a blender, mixer, or mixing bowl. Gently mix with a spoon. Add 1¼ cups of mango (fresh or frozen) on top. There is no need to blend or mix further at this stage. Let everything rest in the same container to keep cleanup simple..
  • Let it rest and thicken
    Cover and place the container in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, forming a gel-like consistency.
  • Blend until smooth
    After resting, blend the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth. If you enjoy a textured pudding, you can skip this step and keep it as is.
  • Layer with mango
    Spoon a portion of the chia pudding into serving glasses or jars. Add a layer of chopped fresh mango.
  • Repeat and top it off
    Add another layer of chia pudding, then top with extra chopped mango.
  • Serve and enjoy
    Serve chilled and enjoy this naturally sweet, creamy mango chia pudding as a healthy breakfast, nourishing snack, or guilt-free dessert.
