Ingredients:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Sliced mangoes, nuts, or coconut flakes for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Place the diced mango in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If needed, you can add a splash of water to help it blend.
