Coconut Mango Chia Pudding
Here's a recipe for a creamy and refreshing chia seed pudding that's easy to make and packed with flavor. We'll start by mixing chia seeds and coconut milk, giving them enough time to hydrate and expand. Then, we'll add some honey or maple syrup for sweetness and a bit of vanilla extract for flavor. After that, we'll cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, allowing the pudding to thicken and develop its full flavor. When you're ready to serve, layer the chia pudding with diced mango in serving glasses and top with toasted coconut flakes.
Chia pudding has become a breakfast and snacking staple for many people over the last few years. It's a great way to get a healthy dose of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. And, it's incredibly versatile - you can add any number of flavors and toppings to create a pudding that's uniquely your own. This recipe for Coconut Mango Chia Pudding is a tropical twist on the classic chia pudding. It's made with coconut milk, ripe mango, and a touch of honey or maple syrup. The result is a creamy, refreshing, and flavorful pudding that's perfect for a hot summer day. I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some ripe mangoes that I had on hand. I knew that chia pudding was a good base for all sorts of flavors, so I decided to experiment with mango. The result was so good that I've been making it ever since.
