Ingredients
½ cup chia seeds – Make sure they’re fresh for the best texture.
1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice) – Full-fat coconut milk gives a creamier texture.
1 tablespoon maple syrup – Adjust sweetness to taste; honey works too.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a subtle depth of flavor.
½ ripe mango, diced – Choose a golden mango for extra sweetness.
½ small dragon fruit, diced – Opt for a bright pink variety for visual appeal.
Optional toppings: shredded coconut, granola, or fresh mint – Adds texture and makes it Pinterest-ready.
Instructions
Mix chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir and let sit 5 minutes, then stir again.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Dice mango and dragon fruit into bite-sized cubes.
Spoon pudding into bowls or glasses and top with the diced fruits.
Add optional toppings like coconut, granola, or mint for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge up to 3 days.
Notes
Swap dragon fruit with kiwi, berries, or papaya.
Use honey, agave, or stevia instead of maple syrup.
Blend half the chia pudding for extra creaminess.
Stir the mixture a few times during the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
Layer with granola or nut butter for added protein and crunch.
