How To Make Chia Pudding
Step 1) Pick a liquid, like coconut water, almond or coconut milk, or fruit puree. Step 2) Soak chia seeds in the milk or liquid of your choice. Add sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, or stevia. Whisk nicely to combine. Step 3) Cover and allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid for 2 – 3 hours or overnight. During the process, keep the container in the refrigerator. Step 4) Blend sweet and ripe mango with saffron strands, cardamom, and almond milk to a smooth puree. Step 5) Once chia seeds are soft, expanded and absorbed the liquid, add mango puree to them and whisk gently to combine. Mango Chia Pudding is ready. Add toppings like diced mango, sliced almonds, and grated coconut.
Serving Suggestion
You can serve chia pudding for breakfast, as snacks, or as a healthy dessert. There are two ways to serve this mango pudding.
- Combine soaked chia seeds and mango puree. Transfer to serving glasses and the topping of choice.
- Add a layer of soaked chia seeds at the bottom of the serving glass, and top it with a layer of mango puree. Repeat the layers till the top of the glass. Add diced fruits, sliced nuts, and grated coconut on top. Either way, the taste of the mango chia pudding is delicious.
Storage Suggestion
Store the mango chia pudding in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 days. After that, it starts tasting bad; there might be a change in fungus or bacteria development. Hence, I recommend making it in small batches for everyday consumption. Do not leave the pudding at room temperature, especially during the hot and humid summer days. follow us on Youtube and Instagram for video recipes.
