Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Juice the Oranges: Squeeze the juice from three fresh mandarins or use three tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, light coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until well incorporated.
  3. Stir and Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then give it another good stir to ensure no clumps of chia seeds.
  4. Chill the Pudding: Seal the jar and chill the pudding for at least 2 hours until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Add Toppings: Once the pudding is set, spoon Greek yogurt on top and add mandarin orange slices, orange zest, and coconut flakes.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a refreshing breakfast or snack, and enjoy within a few days for optimal freshness.
