Tropical Mango Chia Pudding Fresh and Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)
• 1 quarter cup chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
• 1 whole ripe mango, diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 quarter teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 to taste toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
• 1 to taste fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until smooth.
2. Slowly add the chia seeds to the mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
4. Before serving, gently stir the pudding to break up any clumps that may have formed.
5. In a separate bowl, toss the diced mango with lime juice to enhance its flavor.
6. To serve, spoon the chia pudding into individual bowls or cups and layer the dressed mango on top.
7. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the mango and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
