Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 Large Mango, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces
- 1/4 Tsp Matcha Powder
- 1.5 Cups Coconut Milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
- 1/4 Tsp Honey (optional, can be replaced with any sweetener or omitted)
Toppings
- Coconut Flakes
- Mint Leaves
- Chia Seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the chia mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, matcha powder, and coconut milk. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly. Allow this mixture to sit for at least 1 hour or longer so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and expand to create a pudding-like consistency.
- Assemble the pudding: Once the chia seeds have fully expanded, divide the pudding into 3 serving bowls, filling each bowl halfway.
- Add mango layer: Add 2-3 tablespoons of chopped mango evenly over the chia pudding layer in each bowl.
- Layer with matcha chia pudding: Add another layer of the matcha chia mixture to fill the bowls to the top.
- Garnish and serve: Top each pudding with a few more chopped mango pieces, fresh mint leaves, coconut flakes, and a sprinkle of chia seeds for texture and visual appeal.
- Storage: Serve immediately or cover the bowls and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving to enhance the flavors and chill the pudding.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with almond, oat, soy, or any plant-based milk of choice.
- For a sweeter pudding, add more honey or your preferred sweetener before soaking the chia seeds.
- Store the pudding in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to customize toppings with other fresh fruits or nuts to your preference.
