Equipment

  • 1 Blender (for mango puree)
  • 1 Medium Bowl (for mixing the chia pudding)
  • 1 Spoon or Whisk (for stirring)
  • 1 Measuring Cup (for liquids)
  • 1 Airtight Container (for refrigerating the pudding)

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Chia Seeds
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (or Almond Milk)
  • 1 ripe Mango (peeled and chopped)
  • 1-2 tsp Maple Syrup or Honey (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Puree:

  • Peel and chop the mango, then blend it in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Mix Chia Seeds and Milk:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds with coconut milk (or almond milk).
    Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

Add Mango Puree:

  • Pour the mango puree into the chia mixture and stir until combined.
    Add sweetener and vanilla extract, if desired.

Refrigerate:

  • Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

Serve:

  • Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir.
    Serve it in bowls or jars and top with your favorite toppings like fresh mango, granola, or shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Sweetener: The natural sweetness of the mango might be enough, but if you like it sweeter, feel free to add a little maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey to taste.
  • Consistency: If the pudding is too thick after refrigerating, simply add more milk and stir until you achieve your desired texture. If it’s too runny, increase the amount of chia seeds or let it set for longer.
  • Toppings: Customize the pudding with toppings like granola, fresh berries, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
