Mango Coconut Chia Pudding

INGREDIENTS

2 cups creamy coconut milk

4 tablespoons chia seeds

2–4 tablespoons coconut sugar, jaggery, or honey (to taste)

4 ripe mangoes

Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, grated lime zest, or toasted coconut flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

In a jar or bowl, combine the coconut milk and chia seeds. Add your preferred sweetener (coconut sugar, jaggery, or honey) to taste. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener and to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, until the mixture has thickened.
When the pudding has thickened, peel all four mangoes. Dice two of them into bite-sized cubes. Blend the other two into a smooth puree.
In four glasses, spoon a layer of mango puree into the bottom. Add a layer of chia pudding, then top with diced mango. Repeat the layers if space allows.
Top with fresh mint, a sprinkle of lime zest, or toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
Serve as a breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert.

NOTE

Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse – rich in fiber, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, and essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium. They help support digestion, heart health, and stable energy, making them a great addition to any meal or snack.
