Chia pudding with mango and coconut
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are one of the most versatile seeds in the kitchen. Thanks to their ability to absorb moisture and form a gel, they are the basis of one of the simplest and most nutritious desserts: chia pudding. In this recipe, we combine chia seeds with coconut milk and fresh mango for a fresh, tropical dessert that is prepared the evening before and ready in the morning.
