Ingredients
    For the Pudding Base
  • 0.5 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups coconut milk (unsweetened, full fat or light)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, optional)
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
    • For the Mango Puree & Toppings
  • 1.5 cups ripe mango (cubed, divided)
  • 0.5 cup mango puree (blended from above mango cubes)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional, to brighten mango flavor)
  • 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
    Mix the Pudding Base
  1. 1
    In a medium bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to make sure the seeds are fully dispersed and not clumping.
    2. Let It Set
  2. 2
    Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir once after 30 minutes to break up any clumps. The mixture should thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
    3. Make the Mango Puree
  3. 3
    Blend 1 cup of ripe mango with lime juice (if using) until smooth. Set aside. The remaining ½ cup of mango will be used as chunks for topping.
    4. Assemble
  4. 4
    In serving glasses or jars, layer the mango puree at the bottom, then spoon in the chia pudding. Top with fresh mango chunks and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
    5. Serve or Store
  5. 5
    Garnish with mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Note

Sweetener: Adjust sweetness to your taste using agave, honey, or a sugar-free alternative.

Milk Options: You can swap coconut milk for almond, oat, or soy milk, but the texture will be slightly thinner.

Meal Prep Tip: Make a big batch of the chia base and portion it into jars with different fruit purees for variety throughout the week.

Texture Tip: For smoother pudding, blend the soaked chia mixture before layering.

Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days.
