Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite plant-based milk)
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 ripe medium mango, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen passion fruit pulp (from about 2 large passion fruits), plus more for garnish

Juice of half a lime
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:
Step 1: Combine all the ingredients except for the optional chopped nuts in a mixing bowl. Stir well until everything is combined and there are no clumps remaining.
Step 2: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. The longer it sits, the thicker the consistency will become.
Step 3: Once the mixture has thickened, stir again and pour into serving glasses or small ramekins. Garnish each portion with additional mango cubes, diced passionfruit, and chopped nuts if desired. Serve immediately.
