Ingredients
-
Frozen mango cubes
-
Almond milk (just enough to blend smoothly)

Maple syrup or other sweetener (optional, to taste)
-
Chia seeds (about 1.5 tbsp per glass)
-
Plain yogurt (for topping)
-
Fresh mango pieces (for garnish)
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Blend the mango base:
In a blender, blend frozen mango with a splash of almond milk — just enough to create a smooth, thick puree. Add a bit of maple syrup or another sweetener if desired.
Step 2
Combine with chia seeds:
Pour the mango mixture into two serving glasses. Add about 1.5 tablespoons of chia seeds to each glass and stir well to combine.
Step 3
Add the topping:
Spoon a layer of plain yogurt over the mango-chia base and gently smooth it out.
Step 4
Decorate and chill:
Garnish with a few mango pieces on top. Cover and place in the fridge for several hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to thicken.
