Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
3 tablespoons chia seeds
½ cup ripe mango, pureed (plus more diced for topping)
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl or mason jar, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using).
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
When ready to serve, layer the pudding with mango puree or swirl it in.
