Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 2 tablespoons coconut flakes, for garnish

Instructions on how to make Healthy Mango Chia Pudding with Coconut Flakes

  1. Combine the chia seeds and almond or coconut milk in a bowl. Stir well.
  2. If adding sweetener, mix in the honey or maple syrup. Add vanilla extract if desired and blend.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened into a pudding consistency.
  4. Peel and chop the ripe mango into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Once the chia pudding has set, stir it to break up any clumps and check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a bit more almond or coconut milk to reach the desired texture.
  6. Layer the chopped mango over the chia pudding.
  7. Garnish with coconut flakes before serving.
