Notes

  • Chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken over time, so be sure to refrigerate the puddings for at least a few hours or overnight for best texture.
  • Sweetness can be adjusted to your preference using agave syrup or honey.
  • Use ripe fruits for optimal natural sweetness and creamy texture, especially for the mango and avocado puddings.
  • Edible flowers and bee pollen add beautiful visual appeal and extra nutrients to the dish.
  • This recipe is entirely plant-based and dairy-free.
