Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes + 2 hours soaking time Yield: 1 jar
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1/2 cup cubed mango
- 1 tbsp. dried unsweetened coconut, shredded
- 1 tbsp. sliced almonds, toasted
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Directions:
- In a large mason jar or container, add the chia seeds, milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until thoroughly combined, scraping the sides of the jar with a spoon or spatula, if needed.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the coconut and almonds until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Let cool and store in a zip-top bag or small Tupperware container until ready to use.
- When ready to eat, transfer the pudding into a serving bowl.
- Top each with mango, shredded coconut, toasted almonds, and fresh mint leaves.
Tips and Tricks:
- Use almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk instead of low-fat milk for different flavors and dietary preferences.
- Replace mango with other fruits like berries, kiwi, or pineapple for a seasonal twist.
- For a crunchier texture, add granola or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top just before serving.
- The chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it a great option for meal prepping.
