How To Make Mango Chia Pudding
Chia Seeds: when combined with liquid and let sit overnight, chia seeds develop a thick, gel-like consistency. This is how the name “chia pudding” was coined. With a wide variety of flavor combinations, you can make nearly any kind of chia pudding, from chocolate-y, to fruity, and even savory.
Mango Puree: for this recipe, use 2 fresh, medium-sized mangoes and blend in a high speed blender until smooth. Frozen mango can work as a substitute, but you may have to add a bit of water to prevent it from being too thick.
Almond Milk: we used sweetened almond milk, however you can use any kind of plant milk you want. If using unsweetened plant milk, try adding a bit more maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Maple Syrup: natural, unrefined sweetener that adds the perfect sweetness and depth to this chia pudding. Can be substituted with agave.
