Recipe type: Pudding
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2
Ingredients
1 large mango, peeled and diced
1 cup unsweetened milk of choice (I used an unsweetened almond milk but you can use cow’s milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or oat milk)
¼ cup chia seeds
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
Coconut flakes
Sliced almonds
Cacao nibs
Fresh mint, chopped
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, add half of the mango and all of the milk. Blend to make a puree.
In a large bowl, add the mango puree, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir to mix.
Transfer the chia pudding mixture to 2 mason jars with lids. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and top with the remaining other ½ of the mango in addition to the toppings of choice such as coconut flakes, sliced almonds, cacao nibs, or fresh mint.
*Pro-Tip: Add more milk if you would like the chia pudding a little less thick.
