Do This With That Stuff

  1. ‘Gather all your ingredients and cookware

  5. Use the whisk to stir together the chia seeds and coconut milk until well combined
  6. Add a pinch of salt to this mixture using your fingers or a small spoon
  7. Then, using the tablespoon measure, add 2 tablespoons of honey to this mixture
  8. Also add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to this mixture with a teaspoon measure if available, otherwise estimate half of a tablespoon measure
  9. Stir everything in the medium bowl until well combined with the whisk again This will be your chia pudding base
  10. Cover this bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in your refrigerator Let it sit overnight or for at least 4 hours so that it thickens up into a pudding-like consistency
  11. While waiting for the chia pudding to set, prepare your mango Place your ripe mango on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to dice it into small pieces Be careful while handling the knife Set these diced mango pieces aside in a small bowl for later use
  12. Once your chia pudding has thickened up, remove it from the refrigerator Stir it once more with your spoon to break up any clumps that may have formed while chilling
  13. Now divide this thickened chia pudding evenly between two serving bowls using your spoon for stirring or another clean spoon if preferred for serving purposes
  14. Top each serving bowl of chia pudding with half of your diced mango pieces from earlier Distribute them evenly over each portion of pudding for equal flavor in every bite
  15. Finally, garnish each serving bowl with half of your shredded coconut using either fingers or another clean spoon This should be about 1/2 tablespoon of shredded coconut per bowl if using the tablespoon measure for reference
  16. Your Tropical Chia Sunrise is now ready to be served and enjoyed Remember to consume it fresh for the best taste and texture’
