    Ch-ch-ch-chia! This chia pudding is creamy and delicious but a little lightened up with lite coconut milk and naturally sweetened from the addition of pureed mango!

    Light, refreshing, tropical Coconut Mango Chia Pudding recipe from @nutritiontofit.


    Raise your hand if you love chia pudding! I do - to me, it's reminiscent of the tapioca pudding of my youth. The little chia seeds just swell and plump up with all the absorbed liquid resulting in a creamy pudding-like texture, with a touch of chew from the seeds.

    Chia Pudding Ingredients

    If you're new to chia seeds, they're pretty cool little things! Very absorbent, they plump up to quadruple their size in liquid! They also boast a bunch of nutritional powerhouse benefits. They're a great source of protein and fiber, and also pack some heart-healthy fats. What's not to love?

    Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

    There are so many ways you can make chia pudding - pretty much at least a million recipes on the Internet! But what I love about this one is that it's so basic and simplistic. Plus there's no added sweetener! Most of the recipes I've seen use honey, agave, or maple syrup to sweeten. Which there's nothing wrong with that, but I'd like to sweeten a little more naturally for something I may be enjoying for breakfast. Enter: a nice, creamy fruit. Mangoes are perfect. They're packed with a natural creamy sweetness and their tropical flavor pairs perfectly with the coconut milk in this setting. Plus you get the added vitamins, minerals, and fiber from using fresh fruit!

    Mango Coconut Chia Pudding

    Ingredients

    • 1 can 13.66 oz lite coconut milk

    • optional: ½ teaspoon lime juice

    Instructions

    • In a blender, combine mango and coconut milk, plus the lime juice if you're using.
    • Once fully pureed, pour into a container with the chia seeds and carefully stir.

It happens!

But if this has typically triggered restrictive or extreme habits or eating patterns, let's try something different:

Can you try to gently step back into caring for yourself?

Check in with your baseline habits.
+How are you sleeping?
+Managing stress?
+Has your water intake turned to mostly coffee intake? 
+Are you moving your body in a way that feels good right now?
+How are your eating habits?

Then, when the opportunity next presents itself to do something a little different, like adding vegetables to your lunch or skipping Netflix to actually go to bed at a decent time😘, act on it!
