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 milk of your choice)
- 1/4 Tsp Honey (optional, or any sweetener of choice)
Toppings
- Coconut Flakes
- Mint Leaves
- Chia Seeds
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds and matcha powder with the coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the matcha powder is evenly distributed and the chia seeds start absorbing the liquid.
- Let Chia Seeds Expand: Allow the mixture to sit for at least 1 hour or longer in the refrigerator so that the chia seeds fully expand and create a pudding-like texture.
- Assemble the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has thickened, transfer it into 3 serving bowls, filling each halfway. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of chopped mango pieces on top of the layer in each bowl.
- Layer Again: Add more matcha-chia pudding on top of the mango layer until the bowls are filled to the top.
- Add Final Toppings: Finish by placing a few chopped mango pieces and fresh mint leaves on top. Sprinkle coconut flakes and some extra chia seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately for a fresh and creamy pudding, or cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to enhance flavors and chill the pudding further.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with any other plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- If you want the pudding to be sweeter, increase the honey or use another sweetener of choice.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, add a bit more matcha powder but be sure to balance the bitterness with sweetener.
- This pudding can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 2 days for convenience.
- Optional toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or granola can be added for variety and extra texture.
