Need new snack ideas? Try this Mango Chia Pudding for a deliciously wholesome snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Great for prepping ahead on Sunday! {gluten free}
Have you made chia pudding yet? Come on... it's time. Let's start with these Mango Chia Pudding Cups.
Chia pudding is surprisingly delicious. It takes on the flavor of whatever fruit you add in. If you prefer a sweeter taste you can add honey, maple syrup or vanilla. It works with almond milk, coconut milk or regular milk.
You can layer it like this Kiwi and Raspberry Chia Pudding, add it to your Green Smoothie Bowl with Raspberries or put it in your Apple Pie Overnight Oats. So many possibilities.
OR you can be totally healthy (decadent) and add natural creamy almond butter. It makes the perfect layer for in between the chia pudding or for that extra special drizzle on top.
I like to make these on Sunday and have them in the fridge for snacks in the afternoon when the hanger kicks in. In other words... when I crave endless amounts of chocolate chips.
I hope you'll give this chia pudding a try because it's...
- packed with Omega-3 fatty acids

I used to be all about chia pudding, and then I...kind of forgot about it? Haha. I'm so glad to have this reminder, because I really do love it! I'll have to try this mango version asap.

I love chia seed pudding, so easy to make. Just picked up mangos at the grocery yesterday and chia seeds are always in my fridge, looks like I'll be having Mango Chia Snack Pudding soon.

Ooooh for the LOVE of mango - I can feel like I'm on a tropical beach while I wait for spring! I adore chia pudding and eat it almost exclusively during summer - but as a snack year round. This looks fabulous, Karen and I love how you included a dollop of almond butter! SO good!

I'm with you Traci! Beach dreams!
