In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, and maple syrup. Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed and no lumps remain.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
While the chia pudding is setting, prepare the mango puree. Peel and dice the mango, then transfer the pieces into a blender or food processor.
Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt to the diced mango. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree. Taste and adjust with more lime juice if needed.
Once the chia pudding is ready, give it a good stir to ensure even consistency, then divide it into serving bowls or jars.
Top each serving with an equal amount of mango puree, spreading it evenly over the chia pudding.
Garnish with additional slices of mango or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
Serve immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
