Ingredients

• Base
  • 2 cups plain Skyr (Icelandic yogurt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Mango Layer
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
• Toppings (optional)
  • Fresh mango slices
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Chopped pistachios or almonds
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

1. Mix Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together Skyr, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

2. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.

3. Prepare Mango Layer

Meanwhile, combine the diced mango with lime juice and optional maple syrup. Blend half of the mixture to form a puree, leaving the rest as small mango cubes.

4. Assemble

When the chia pudding is set, stir it gently. Layer mango puree at the bottom of 4 serving glasses, spoon chia pudding over it, then top with reserved mango cubes.

5. Garnish

Garnish with your choice of fresh mango slices, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and mint leaves. Serve chilled.

To boost protein content, you can add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder into the pudding mixture before chilling. Stir well to ensure even distribution. For a vegan alternative, swap Skyr with plant-based yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup.
