Mango Coconut Chia Pudding

Last week, I needed this chia pudding with mango and coconut in order to start to feel a bit more normal in our house, my body and in our life.  After our two weeks dealing with our Hurricane Irma drama, I came home completely wiped out and overwhelmed.  We didn’t sustain much damage other than yard debris and loss of electricity for a few days.   It was more the whole process of evacuating that was high stress and anxiety inducing. When we finally returned home, I cleaned out the fridge since the power had been off for days and I really didn’t have much left.  The stores were still out of almost everything but I had almond milk (that doesn’t go bad, right?), chia seeds, coconut and mangoes that needed to be eaten right away.

I used my basic chia pudding recipe then just topped the whole thing with mangoes, shredded coconut and coconut smiles.  A very simple recipe for a time when we needed things to be simple.

Chia pudding is a great source of protein and fiber, the coconut adds needed fats and the mango is there for brightness, sweetness and much needed vitamins.  Who doesn’t love mango?

If you need a little brightness in your day, consider making this mango chia seed pudding.  So lovely, so bright and so good for you!
