Ingredients:
For the Avocado Chia Seeds Mixture:
* 4 ripe Hass avocados (about 2 medium)
* ½ cup unsweetened chia seeds
* ⅛ teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
For the Mango Topping:
* 1 large mango (ripe but firm), peeled, pitted, and sliced
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
* Pinch of sea salt
Optional Garnish:
* Sliced almonds, walnuts, or pecans (for nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter)
* Coconut flakes (unsweetened)
* Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Chia Seeds Mixture
Combine the avocados, chia seeds, and sea salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl or jar and stir well. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the liquid so a film forms. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Step 2: Make the Mango Topping
While the chia pudding is setting, prepare the mango topping. Combine the sliced mango, maple syrup (if using), and pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Dessert
Once the avocado chia pudding has thickened, divide it among four serving glasses or bowls. Top each portion with about ⅓ cup of the mango mixture.
Sprinkle the optional garnish (if using) over the mango topping. Serve immediately.
Note: The longer you let the chia pudding sit, the thicker it will become. Adjust the amount of water used if you prefer a looser consistency.
