How to Prepare Tropical Chia Fruit Cups [Vegan]

Give your almond milk container a really good shake and measure 2 cups.
In a bowl, hand mix almond milk, maple syrup, orange zest, and chia seeds. Mix well so that the chia seeds are evenly dispersed. Put this in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to gel. If using chilled almond milk, put it in the fridge for 10 minutes. Time it so it doesn’t over gel.
Meanwhile, peel and slice the mango and orange and purée in a small blender or high-speed blender—measure 2 cups of the purée.
Give the refrigerated almond/chia mixture a good stir with a fork. This second stir is important so that the chia seeds are evenly dispersed. Next, add the fruit purée and stir/mix well with a fork.
Pour the mixture equally into 5 or 6 ramekins, glasses, or jars. Cover with lids or foil and chill in the fridge for an hour or overnight. They taste even better the next day!
Enjoy as-is or with toppings of choice.

Notes

If you have some leftover fruit purée, keep it and mix it in with some fresh fruit and add this later to each topping.
