    Notes in the ingredients

    • Place a layer of mango puree in the bottom of the individual cups or small mason jar, and top with the chia pudding mixture.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe:

    You would love this mango chia pudding recipe for a variety of reasons! Here are just a few:

    1. Healthy and Nutritious: This recipe is packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, such as chia seeds, coconut milk, and mango, that are good for your body. Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, while coconut milk is a great source of healthy fats and vitamins. Mango is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and vitamin A.
    2. Easy to Make: This easy recipe is quick to prepare, making it perfect for busy mornings or as a healthy snack. All you need to do is mix the ingredients together and let the chia seeds absorb the liquid, which takes just a few minutes.
    3. Delicious Flavor: The combination of creamy coconut milk and sweet mango makes for a delicious and refreshing flavor. The coconut flakes add a nice texture to the pudding, while the maple syrup and vanilla extract provide a subtle sweetness that complements the mango perfectly.
    4. Versatile Recipe: This recipe is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. You can swap out the mango for other fruits, such as berries, peaches, or bananas, and adjust the sweetness to your taste.

    Storage

    The pudding will keep well for up to 4-5 days, depending on the freshness of the ingredients used. It's important to note that chia pudding tends to thicken as it sits in the refrigerator, so you may need to add a splash of milk or water to thin it out before serving.

    If you plan to meal prep and make a large batch of chia pudding, you can also portion it out into individual serving cups or jars before refrigerating. This way, you can easily grab a pre-made serving for a quick and convenient breakfast or snack. Just be sure to seal the containers tightly to prevent any air from getting in and spoiling the pudding.

    It's not recommended to freeze chia pudding as it can change the texture and consistency of the pudding. Chia seeds tend to absorb liquid and expand when they're frozen, which can result in a mushy or gelatinous texture when thawed.

    Variations

    • Add some cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm and cozy flavor.
    • Use other fresh fruits like berries, apricots, or kiwis.
    • Top the pudding with some fresh berries or sliced bananas for added sweetness.
    • Add a pinch of sea salt to make the flavor pop even more.

    Tip

    Make sure to whisk the ingredients well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the pudding.

    FAQ

    Can I use other types of milk?
