A creamy chia pudding with mango for a nutritious start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 cups plain Skyr Icelandic yogurt
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
03 - 1/4 cup chia seeds
04 - 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
05 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

# How to Make It:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together Skyr, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
02 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
03 - Meanwhile, combine the diced mango with lime juice and optional maple syrup. Blend half of the mixture to form a puree, leaving the rest as small mango cubes.
04 - When the chia pudding is set, stir it gently. Layer mango puree at the bottom of 4 serving glasses, spoon chia pudding over it, then top with reserved mango cubes.
