Instructions

Prepare the Chia Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chia seeds, light coconut milk, your chosen milk, and mango juice. Add maple syrup or honey starting with 1-2 tablespoons, adjusting to your desired sweetness. Stir well to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
Prevent Clumping: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to break up any clumps that may have formed.
Chill the Chia Pudding: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken fully.
Prepare the Fruits: While the pudding chills, wash and slice the strawberries. Rinse the blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water. Dice the mango into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Dish: Once the chia pudding has fully set, give it a good stir to ensure smooth consistency. Divide the pudding evenly into serving bowls or jars.
Top with Fruit Salad: Generously top each serving with the mixed berries—strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries—and the diced mango for a colorful and refreshing finish.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your mango chia pudding immediately or store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It makes for a nutritious breakfast or a healthy snack anytime.
