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 milk of choice)
- 1/4 Tsp Honey (optional, can use any sweetener or skip)
Toppings
- Coconut Flakes
- Mint Leaves
- Extra Chia Seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Chia Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, matcha powder, and coconut milk. Mix well and allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and expand. This should take at least 1 hour or longer for the best texture.
- Assemble the Pudding Layers: Once the chia mixture has thickened, divide it evenly into 3 serving bowls, filling each bowl halfway.
- Add Mango Layer: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of chopped mango pieces into each bowl over the chia pudding layer.
- Top with More Chia Mixture: Add another layer of the matcha-chia pudding mixture on top of the mango to fill the bowls nearly to the top.
- Finish with Garnishes: Add a few more chopped mango pieces and mint leaves on top. Sprinkle coconut flakes and extra chia seeds over each serving for added texture and flavor.
- Serve or Chill: You can serve the pudding immediately or cover and refrigerate for 2–3 hours to enhance the flavors and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with almond, soy, or oat milk as per preference.
- Honey is optional and can be replaced with maple syrup or agave for a strict vegan version.
- Make sure to let the chia seeds soak for at least 1 hour to achieve the right pudding consistency.
- The pudding can be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge for a quick, healthy breakfast.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste by adding more sweetener if desired.
