  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lite coconut milk, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk for 1-2 minutes until well blended.

  3. After 30 minutes, stir the pudding and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  4. Peel and dice fresh mangoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  5. Layer the parfait in serving glasses, starting with a spoonful of chia pudding followed by diced mango. Repeat until glasses are filled.
  6. Sprinkle additional shredded coconut or nuts over the top layer and serve immediately.
