Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plant-based milk (unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk recommended)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe mangoes (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and diced or mashed)
- Optional toppings: fresh mango cubes, sliced strawberries, toasted coconut flakes, granola
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chia Pudding Base – In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine the plant-based milk, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir well until there are no visible clumps of chia seeds. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Step 2: Prepare the Mango Layer – Blend the ripe mango chunks in a blender or food processor until smooth. If needed, add a tablespoon or two of water or extra plant-based milk to achieve a thick, scoopable consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Step 3: Prepare the Strawberry Layer – Hull and wash the strawberries, then mash them with a fork for a chunky texture or blend for a smoother puree. Taste and add sweetener if needed. Set aside.
- Step 4: Assemble Your Pudding Cups – In serving cups or jars, start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of mango puree, then a layer of strawberry puree. Repeat layers as desired, being careful not to mix them too much.
- Step 5: Chill & Serve – Cover the assembled cups and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Add optional toppings just before serving.
