Mango Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is a delightful and nutritious treat. Here’s a simple recipe for you to enjoy:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup mango puree (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Fresh mango slices and shredded coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix the Chia Seeds: In a bowl, combine the chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Add Sweetener and Flavor: Add the mango puree, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chia seed mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir Before Serving: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Spoon the mango coconut chia seed pudding into serving glasses or bowls. Garnish with fresh mango slices and shredded coconut if desired.
- Enjoy! Serve the pudding chilled and savor the tropical flavors. It makes a great breakfast, snack, or even a healthy dessert.
Feel free to customize the recipe based on your preferences. You can add more mango puree for a stronger mango flavor, adjust the sweetness to your liking, or experiment with toppings like sliced almonds or granola. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Mango Coconut Chia Seed Pudding!
