Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds

- 1 cup dragon fruit chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh mango slices for topping

Instructions
Add Chia Seeds
- Put chia seeds into a mixing bowl. Pour almond milk over them. Stir well to avoid lumps.
Sweeten the Mix
- Add honey or maple syrup. Stir again until everything mixes evenly and smoothly.
Add Vanilla
- Pour vanilla extract into the mixture. Mix gently to spread the flavor everywhere.
Rest the Mixture
- Cover the bowl. Place it in the fridge for 15 minutes. This helps chia seeds start thickening.
Stir Again

Chill Properly
- Return bowl to fridge. Let it rest for at least four hours or overnight.
Prepare Mango Puree
- Add chopped mango to blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. No water needed.
Prepare Dragon Fruit
- Blend dragon fruit lightly. Keep small chunks for texture if you like.
Check Chia Texture
- Remove chia pudding from fridge. It should look thick and creamy like yogurt.
Layer the Pudding
- Add chia pudding to jars. Spoon mango puree on top gently.
Add Dragon Fruit
- Add dragon fruit layer over mango. Spread evenly using a spoon.
Repeat Layers
- Repeat layers if jar space allows. This makes pudding look colorful and pretty.
Add Toppings
- Top with fresh mango slices and dragon fruit cubes. Add mint leaves if desired.
Serve Cold
- Serve chilled. Enjoy fresh flavors and creamy texture with every spoon.
Notes
- Always stir chia seeds twice to avoid clumps.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess.
- Replace honey with agave for vegan option.
- Add lime zest for fresh citrus flavor.
- Mix mango puree into chia pudding for stronger mango taste.
- Add shredded coconut for extra texture.
- Use frozen fruits when fresh ones are unavailable.
