Why You’ll Love This Breakfast Bowl

The combination of mango and coconut offers both taste and nutrition. Mango adds natural sweetness and vitamin C, while coconut milk provides healthy fats and richness. Chia seeds help keep you full longer and give the bowl its creamy, pudding-like consistency after soaking overnight.

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton, unsweetened)
• 3 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ripe mango, diced (reserve a few slices for topping)
• 2 tbsp shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• Toppings: sliced mango, shredded coconut, granola, mint leaves

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chia Base
In a bowl or jar, mix coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.

2. Refrigerate Overnight
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like texture.

3. Blend Mango Puree
In the morning, puree half of the mango (or more, to taste) in a blender until smooth. Stir it into the chia mixture or layer it on top.

4. Assemble the Bowl
Spoon the chia pudding into a bowl. Top with mango slices, shredded coconut, granola, and mint if desired.

5. Serve and Enjoy
Enjoy immediately while it’s chilled and fresh. It’s a perfect make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings or a light, satisfying snack.

Tips for Best Results

• Use very ripe mango for maximum sweetness and flavor.
