Chia seeds have rapidly gained popularity in health circles, often touted as a superfood. These tiny, nutrient-dense seeds are derived from the Salvia hispanica plant, which is native to Central and South America. They are incredibly rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart health, and are known to promote good cholesterol levels. In fact, a mere two tablespoons of chia seeds contain more Omega-3s than a serving of salmon, making them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans alike.

Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

1 tablespoon lime juice

A pinch of salt

Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

    Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to a mason jar, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

      Prepare the Fruit: While the chia pudding sets, prepare the mango and pineapple. In a separate bowl, mix the diced mango, pineapple chunks, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.

        Layering the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding with the marinated fruit mixture, starting with a layer of pudding followed by a layer of fruit.

          Garnish: Top each serving with toasted coconut flakes and fresh mint leaves for an additional burst of flavor and texture.

            Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing breakfast, snack, or dessert. Enjoy the tropical flavors and the creamy texture of the pudding!
