Ingredients 🛒
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess or light for fewer calories)
- ½ cup mango puree (fresh blended mango or store-bought)
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Zest of 1 lime
- ¼ cup toasted coconut flakes, for topping
Instructions 👩🍳
1. Mix the Base
In a medium bowl or mason jar, whisk together:
- Coconut milk
- Mango puree
- Chia seeds
- Maple syrup (if using)
Make sure everything is well combined so the chia seeds don’t clump.
2. Chill
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
The chia seeds will expand, creating a thick, pudding-like texture.
3. Serve & Garnish
Before serving:
- Stir the pudding once more
- Top with lime zest and toasted coconut flakes for a zesty crunch!
Serve chilled and enjoy the tropical vibes.
