Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.

Step 2

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thickened to a pudding consistency.

Step 3

Meanwhile, blend mango, lime juice, and optional maple syrup in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Step 4

To assemble, divide the chia pudding evenly among 4 cups or jars. Spoon a layer of mango purée over each.

Step 5

Top with shredded coconut, seeds, and fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an extra boost of energy, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to the chia mixture before refrigerating. This simple addition makes the pudding even more satiating for busy mornings.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This recipe is highly versatile. If mangoes aren't in season, you can easily swap the fruit layer for a purée of fresh berries or peaches. Each fruit brings a unique flavor profile to the creamy coconut base.

Serviervorschläge

While these cups are delicious on their own, you can add a satisfying crunch by topping them with a handful of granola just before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a professional, café-style presentation.
