Ingredients

1–2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons coconut yogurt or coconut milk
1 pinch sea salt
Toasted coconut flakes, for garnish

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract (optional), and a pinch of sea salt. Make sure everything is well combined.
2. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
3. Pour into glass jars or containers, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
4. Blend half of the chopped mango with coconut yogurt (or coconut milk) until smooth.
5. Once the pudding has set, top each jar with mango puree, followed by fresh mango cubes.
6. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes and a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
Notes
Stir twice while setting to prevent clumps for a smooth pudding.
Use ripe mangoes like Ataulfo or Alphonso for best flavor.
Add a layer of granola or nuts if you want extra texture and crunch.
