Ingredients

  • For the Chia Seed Pudding:
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to your preferred level of sweetness)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • For the Mango Puree:
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced

  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice (optional, for a hint of tanginess)

  • Optional Toppings:
  • Fresh mango slices

  • Sliced almonds

  • Shredded coconut

  • Mint leaves

Directions

  • Make the Chia Seed Pudding:
  • In a bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir well to make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir the mixture once or twice within the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
  • Prepare the Mango Puree:
  • Place the diced mangoes in a blender or food processor.
  • Add honey or maple syrup and lime juice (if using).
  • Blend until you have a smooth puree. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  • Assemble the Chia Seed Pudding:
  • Take the chia seed pudding out of the refrigerator. It should have thickened and taken on a pudding-like consistency.
  • Give it a good stir to break up any clumps.
  • In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia seed pudding and mango puree. You can do this in alternating layers or however you prefer.
  • Finish by topping with fresh mango slices, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and a sprig of mint leaves if desired.
  • Serve:
  • Serve the Chia Seed Pudding with Mango Puree immediately, or refrigerate for later use.
