I first came across this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to start my day. I had been eating chia seed pudding for a while, but I was getting tired of the same old flavors. I decided to try this recipe, and I was immediately hooked. The combination of chia seeds, coconut cream, mango, and spices is simply irresistible. I love the creamy texture of the pudding, and the flavor is out of this world. I've been making this recipe ever since, and I've never gotten tired of it.
