1cupmilk

¼cupvanilla protein powder(optional)
½cupwhite chia seeds(see notes below)
½teaspoonturmeric powder(optional- for color)
Unsweetened shredded coconut,for topping
Instructions
To a high powered blender or food processor combine the milk, lime juice, honey, greek yogurt and frozen mango. Blend until smooth.
Once smooth, add the vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and turmeric if using. Blend until thick and creamy.
Divide amongst 4 small jars. Top with additional mango and unsweetened shredded coconut. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight to thicken.
Notes
Chia seeds: I used white chia seeds because when blended with the mango it results in a brighter, more vibrant yellow color. There is absolutely no nutritional difference and black chia seeds can be used if that is all you have on hand! The turmeric powder is added to brighten the chia pudding creating a vibrant yellow. If you prefer to omit that is absolutely fine! Protein powder can be omitted and does not need to be substituted.If proffered you do not need to blend the chia seeds! Simply blend the liquid ingredients and frozen mango before whisking in the chia seeds and protein powder. If you take this route- I recommend giving them another stir in about 2 hours to ensure the chia seeds evenly disperse in the liquid while thickening.
