Mango Chia Pudding Instruction
In a bowl or container, combine coconut milk, water, chia seeds, and honey. Adjust the honey to your taste. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours, or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a pudding-like consistency.
Peel and chop the mango. Set aside a few pieces for topping. Add the remaining mango and a drizzle of honey to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth. Store in the fridge until ready to assemble.
In a serving cup or jar, layer the mango puree and chia pudding, alternating until you reach the top. Finish with the reserved diced mango for a fresh, colorful topping.
Chill for a bit if desired, then enjoy your refreshing mango chia pudding.
Storage Tips
Store the mango puree and the chia pudding separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Store up to 3-4 days. Assemble whenever you are ready to eat.
Before assembling. Stir the chia pudding or splash coconut milk to loosen it up if it is too thick.
Mango Chia Pudding Tips
If it is too thick, add a splash of milk to make it thinner.
