Ingredients

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Extra mango slices (for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the Mango: Start by placing the diced mango in a blender. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve a few pieces of mango to fold in later instead of blending everything.

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds into the coconut milk mixture. Ensure they are evenly distributed. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.

Incorporate Mango: Fold in the blended mango puree into the chia seed mixture until it’s well combined. If you reserved chunks of mango, gently fold them in at this stage.

Chill the Pudding: Divide the mixture into serving bowls or jars and cover them. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the chia seeds to expand and the pudding to thicken.

Serve: Once the pudding is set, give it a good stir. Top with additional mango slices and garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving for a refreshing touch.

Enjoy your Tropical Bliss: Creamy Mango Chia Pudding as a nutritious breakfast, a healthy snack, or a delightful dessert!
