PREPARATION
- Mix Coconut Milk And Chia Seeds: Combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 100 millilitres of coconut milk in a small bowl or jar. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Add Honey: Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey, blending it into the mixture for a subtle sweetness.
- Let It Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Top With Mango: Once the chia pudding has set, dice 50 grams of fresh mango and layer it on top of the pudding.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Coconut Mango Chia Pudding Sweetened With Honey chilled as a light breakfast or snack.

TIPS
- Stir After 10 Minutes: To prevent clumping, stir the chia seed mixture again after 10 minutes of chilling. This stirring ensures the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: For a richer and creamier pudding, use full-fat coconut milk. Light coconut milk will create a thinner consistency.
- Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, or use maple syrup or agave for a vegan version.
- Add Texture: Top with shredded coconut, nuts or granola for an extra crunch and texture contrast.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Option: Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey to make the pudding vegan.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter for an extra protein boost.
- Tropical Mix: Add other tropical fruits like pineapple or papaya along with the mango for a colourful and flavourful twist.
- Spiced Version: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom into the chia seed mixture for a warm and spiced flavour.
- Berry Addition: Swap the mango for fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries or raspberries for a berry-themed chia pudding.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- In The Refrigerator: Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pudding may thicken further as it sits, so you can add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it before serving.
- Freezing: You can freeze the chia pudding for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying, but the texture may change slightly after freezing.
