Ingredients
  

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for creaminess)

1/2 cup almond milk (or your choice of dairy milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh mango, sliced (for topping)

Toasted shredded coconut (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, pour in the coconut milk and almond milk. Use a whisk to combine them thoroughly until they’re well blended and smooth.

    Gradually add the chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the mixed milk. Whisk vigorously to ensure that there are no lumps from the chia seeds, creating a uniform mixture.

      Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This resting time enables the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquid. After 5 minutes, give it another whisk to break up any clumps that may have formed.

        Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, but if you have time, overnight is ideal. The chia seeds will swell and transform the mixture into a luxurious pudding-like consistency.

          Once the pudding is set after chilling, give it a good stir to ensure it's creamy. If you prefer a thinner texture, simply add a splash more almond milk and mix until you achieve your desired consistency.

            To serve, use a spoon to divide the chia pudding into individual cups or bowls. Top generously with freshly sliced mango, sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut for a delightful crunch, and finish with a few fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color and freshness.

              Treat yourself to this tropical delight as a nourishing breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a guilt-free dessert!
