Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

Coconut Mango Chia Pudding is a refreshing and nutritious treat that combines the tropical flavors of coconut and mango with the health benefits of chia seeds. Perfect for a midnight snack or breakfast, it's creamy, satisfying, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• Chia seeds - 6 tablespoons (90 grams)
• Coconut milk - 1 cup (240 ml)
• Honey or maple syrup - 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
• Mango - 1 medium, diced (200 grams)
• Coconut flakes - 2 tablespoons (20 grams), for garnish
• Mint leaves - a few, for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
2. Whisk the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
5. Once the pudding has set, divide it into two serving bowls.
6. Top each bowl with diced mango and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
7. Garnish with mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled.
