Chia seeds are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet — loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and plant-based calcium. When soaked in coconut milk overnight, they transform into a luxuriously creamy pudding that feels indulgent while delivering genuine nutritional value. The mango purée layer adds natural sweetness without any refined sugar.
Whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Let sit for 5 minutes, whisk again to prevent clumping.
Transfer to jars or bowls, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
Blend half the mango with lime juice until smooth. Dice the remaining mango into small cubes.
Layer chia pudding with mango purée, fresh mango cubes, toasted coconut flakes, and lime zest. Garnish with fresh mint.
