    I'm always looking for a way to create a healthy and delicious breakfast, fast. This tropical chia seed pudding hits the spot every time!

    What makes a recipe even better? When you can prep it the night before to save time in morning for actually sitting and enjoying a meal.

    Ingredients

    • Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened milk. There are many varieties out there with different thicknesses, but I like to use a full fat coconut milk.
    • Chia Seeds: These will act as a thickening agent as well as add wonderful nutrition.
    • Shredded Coconut: I recommend using unsweetened coconut. You can use finely shredded, larger shreds, or coconut flakes for this recipe because you'll be blending it to a powder.
    • Mango: I absolutely love yellow mangos. They're smaller, sweeter, and often not as fibrous. You can use fresh or frozen mangos, but fresh often gives you a better flavor.
    • Banana: Use fresh, ripe bananas that are yellow and not browning. Yellow bananas are best to help thicken this pudding and give it the freshest flavor. If you use a browning banana it won't thicken as much and you'll get a slightly different flavor with added sugar.
    • Honey: I love raw honey for natural sweetness. Try to find a local honey for the best nutrition! I haven't tried any other sweeteners but if you're looking for alternatives you could try maple syrup, agave or sorghum.
