Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Sliced almonds or granola for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully blended.

    Incorporate Chia Seeds: Slowly sprinkle in the chia seeds while stirring continuously to avoid clumping. Once fully mixed, let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes. Stir again to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.

      Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.

        Prepare the Mango Layer: While the chia pudding sets, prepare the mango puree. In a blender or food processor, blend the diced mango until smooth. If you like a sweeter layer, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the mango blend.

          Assemble the Cups: Once the chia pudding has set, spoon it evenly into serving cups or glasses. Top each chia pudding layer with a generous spoonful of mango puree.

            Garnish: Finish the cups with fresh mint leaves for color and flavor. Optionally, sprinkle sliced almonds or granola on top for added crunch.

              Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors of your Mango Chia Pudding Cups!
