Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for added flavor
Instructions:
Soak the Chia Seeds: In a bowl, mix the chia seeds with almond milk. Stir in honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla if desired. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Mango: Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has set and attained a gel-like consistency, give it a good stir. Spoon half of the pudding into serving glasses or bowls.
Add the Coconut Milk Layer: Gently pour a layer of coconut milk over the chia pudding in each glass.
Top with Mango: Arrange the diced mango on top of the coconut milk layer.
Serve: Enjoy this tropical chia seed pudding as a refreshing start to your day or as a healthy snack.
Serving Suggestions: This pudding is perfect on its own but can also be garnished with additional toppings like shredded coconut, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Nutritional Note: Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, making this pudding not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious.
