Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Base
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup light coconut milk
- 1.5 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons mandarin orange slices
- Pinch of orange zest

Instructions
- Extract Orange Juice: Squeeze the juice from 3 mandarin oranges, or alternatively use 3 tablespoons of juice from a regular orange.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mason jar or any sealable container, combine the orange juice, light coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid.
- Stir to Remove Clumps: After the initial sitting, stir the mixture again thoroughly to break up any chia seed clumps, ensuring a smooth pudding consistency.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the pudding to thicken and set properly.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once chilled, remove the pudding from the fridge. Top with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, mandarin orange slices, a sprinkle of orange zest, and coconut flakes. Enjoy immediately.
