Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup Mango
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lime Juice
  • To taste Optional Toppings
  • To taste Fresh Mango
  • To taste Toasted Coconut Flakes

Preparing the Mango

Dice half of the mango into small pieces. The other half will be used for topping.

Mixing the Pudding Base

In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, diced mango, maple syrup, shredded coconut, and lime juice. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Ensuring Even Distribution

Stir the mixture vigorously to distribute the mango and coconut evenly. This will help prevent clumping of chia seeds.

First Refrigeration

Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency. Stir the pudding again after about 30 minutes to an hour to ensure that the chia seeds don't settle at the bottom.

Checking Consistency

After the refrigeration period, check the consistency of the pudding. If it is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency. If it is too thin, add another teaspoon of chia seeds and let it sit for another 30 minutes.

Serving and Toppings

Spoon the chia seed pudding into a serving bowl or glass. Top with fresh mango slices and toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy immediately!
