Ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic Cardamom
1 can (13.5 ounce) full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup frozen mango chunks (or frozen strawberries, if preferred)
1 ripe banana
1/2 to 1 cups water (or coconut milk)
Directions
1. Into a quart-size mason jar (or other similar jar) with a lid, add coconut milk. Whisk if coconut milk has separated. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract and cardamom and whisk to combine. Add chia seeds and whisk to evenly distribute.
2. Place lid on jar and refrigerate for two hours or until set (overnight is best). After about 30 minutes when chia seeds begin to swell, shake jar to evenly distribute, as the seeds tend to clump at the bottom initially.
3. In a blender, blend mango or strawberries (your preference) with banana and water until mixture reaches smoothie consistency. Depending on the power of your blender, you may need to add more water. Refrigerate smoothie in an air-tight container, until you’re ready to enjoy the pudding.
4. To make the layered pudding, spoon chia pudding into a bowl, then add the smoothie layer. Top with toasted coconut and a sprinkle of cardamom
