A nutritious, no-cook treat, chia pudding with mango is created by mixing chia seeds with milk or a dairy-free substitute. The chia seeds absorb the liquid and give the recipe a thick, pudding-like consistency as it is allowed to set in the refrigerator for the entire night. A rush of sweetness and tropical flavor is added when fresh, ripe mango slices are placed on top. This treat is a fantastic option for breakfast or a light dessert because it is high in fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave) (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- A pinch of salt (optional)

Directions

- After giving the mixture a good stir to make sure the chia seeds are uniformly dispersed throughout the liquid, cover and place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Stir the pudding thoroughly after it has set, and then sprinkle the freshly chopped mango on top.
- For added taste, you can optionally add a pinch of salt.
