Healthy Mango Chia Pudding Parfaits
Refreshing mango chia pudding parfaits! đ„ These colorful and high-fiber layered chia parfaits are perfect to add to your meal prep. Made with four simple ingredients, they pack lots of nutrition into a small jar. The mango adds sweetness, while the chia seeds add fiber, protein, and healthy fats!
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened dairy-free milk
- 1/2 cup chia seed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, optional
- 2 cups frozen mango, defrosted (fresh mangoes or canned diced mango works too!)
- For serving: granola +Â unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the milk, and then whisk in the chia seeds, vanilla, and optional maple syrup. After a couple of minutes whisk again and then repeat this for about 10 minutes to reduce any clumping of the chia seed mixture. Add a lid or pour into an airtight container and place in the fridge for at least three hours or overnight.
- Add the defrosted mango chunks to a blender to blend until smooth, or add to a large mason jar and then use an immersion blender to purée the mangoes into a smooth mixture.
- The next morning, or when the chia pudding is thick and ready, add it into jars with layers of mango puree. Top with granola and shredded coconut, or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
To up the protein content and add more health benefits add a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the chia pudding mixture, or serve it up with layers of greek yogurt!
