1. 1. Prepare your mango: If using fresh mango, peel, pit, and dice. For smoother pudding, puree 3/4 cup of diced mango and reserve rest for topping. If using frozen mango, thaw and puree.

2. 2. Combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl or large jar, whisk together coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

3. 3. Add protein powder and chia seeds: Gradually whisk in protein powder until smooth. Sprinkle in chia seeds and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes to prevent clumps.

4. 4. Stir in mango: Gently fold in prepared mango (puree or diced pieces) until evenly distributed.

5. 5. Chill: Cover bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

6. 6. Stir before serving: Give pudding a good stir. If too thick, add a splash of coconut milk or water to reach desired consistency.

7. 7. Garnish and enjoy: Divide into serving bowls, top with fresh mango chunks, toasted coconut, granola, or other desired toppings, and serve.
